Another golden oldie.. from 2006 this time. But, none the less, one of my favorites.
It was around 2pm central standard time when I heard it. I was in my livingroom, minding my own business while watching General Hospital (of course). All of a sudden, out of Chloe's room I hear a shrill scream and a tiny voice say "I'm stuck! Get Daddy!".
I ran into Chloe's room to find that her leg was stuck in the crib slats. Apparently it had been there a while because it was swollen and turning purple. I tried everything to push her leg back through, but it was too swollen and twisted. I found some veggetable oil and tried that. No such luck. I tried wiggling her leg down to the mattress to see if that side was wider so the leg would slip out. No such luck. So, naturally, I call for Jared.
I couldn't get hold of Jared so I called my Mom. She's all the way in NY, but I thought that maybe she could "talk me down". Mom suggested that I cut the bar with a saw, but I didn't have one. I got off the phone with my mom to call 911, but figured I would give Jared one more shot. Finally, Jared answered the phone and told me not to do anything and that he would be right there. I believe the reason he gave to come home was: "Chloe is stuck in the crib and Jenn's about to start busting the furniture apart to get her out. I don't think I'll be back today.".
To sum it up- All Jared had to do was lift her up and back. Her leg slid right out. I tried that already... and now I will no longer be the wife that cried 'popcorn cornels', but the wife that cried 'crib'.
