First of all - no big deal. no serious injuries, nothing like that. Really funny more than anything (if you know my daughter).

My wife called me at work yesterday to say that EMS, the fire and police departments had just left our church where she had been teaching a religious education class. It seems that our daughter was using playground equipment "inappropriately"  and had gotten her leg seriously wedged between these two metal poles after climbing around on top of something she shouldn't have. Her leg was really getting bruised and it could have been broken. No amount of prying by the people left at the church could extract the leg after if had started to swell up I guess.

She must have been screaming bloody murder, and apparently the woman calling 911 was completely hysterical as my wife was trying to help our daughter.

Must have been quite the scene - a slow day in suburbia for the local emergency crew. They extracted her with some dishsoap, and it turns out she had no lasting aftereffects than a bruise on her leg.

Parenthood. Ain't it great?

Yeah - the dishsoap extraction was a little anticlimactic. It didn't help that the person making the 911 call was more hysterical than our daughter, so the police officer who was first to arrive told the 911 dispatcher that it wouldn't require the jaws of life and that our daughter was conscious and all that...

My wife said all the respoders were great to deal with, so kudos to all you guys who are working that field!
