Horror as 2-year-old boy's organs shut down after being stung 150 times by wasps

A two-year-old boy is fighting for his life in hospital after being stung 150 times by wasps.

Beckham Reed was playing with his cousins on an electric toy when he hit a nest of yellow jackets, which 'swarmed him head to toe'. His parents Mariah and Peyton rushed him to hospital, where he was given morphine and Benadryl and sent home.

However, the nightmare was far from over as less than 24 hours later, Beckham's parents frantically rushed him to hospital again because his skin was turning yellow. Medics at Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick recognized that Beckham was suffering from multi-organ failure. He was immediately transferred to ICU at Memorial Savannah.

While in the ICU, Beckham was started on dialysis, ventilator support and life-saving IV medications to allow his body to rest and filter out the toxins. "Due to his age and size and the amount of stings he had, his little body was unable to handle the amount of toxins in his body," Tiffany Hewatt wrote on a GoFundMepage.

It went on to explain: "This is not a medical experience that is common. There is no antivenom for yellow jackets so all they can do is support his body while the toxins work their way out."

Tiffany has been giving daily updates on Beckham's health via the fundraising page. On June 25 she confirmed his hemoglobin tested at 6.8, which is significantly low and can be life-threatening. He received more blood, which the family expected after he underwent dialysis

An update on the page read: "They are increasing his tube feeds, decreasing his fluids and are going to pull off more fluids with his dialysis. They took him off his BP meds yesterday and he had some issues with it getting low last night but it stabilized without meds" It added: "We know Beckham is a fighter and he is fighting to get better."

In an update yesterday Tiffany said Beckham has been showing signs of improving slowly, but doctors are still trying to get him regulated and he continues to stay on the ventilator. The family is worried his only working kidney won't work, but they won't find out if it will until he comes off dialysis. Beckham is showing signs of infection.

Beckham could come off dialysis as early as tomorrow but doctors are currently holding off due to worries he will pull on his dialysis line. The family started the GoFundMe to help with medical bills and Tiffany says: " Please consider donating to help offset their financial stress while they are with Beckham at this time. If you cannot donate, we ask that you pray for Beckham, Mariah and Peyton."
