Seriously, I feel like the Shallotte Urgent Care should give us some kind of discount for being frequent visitors each summer.  We have visited them every year for the past 3 years we have been at Ocean Isle Beach.  The first year we came Jack and Jake both got a bad case of croup and my dad suffered from heat exhaustion, the second year Jack got strep, this year Jack cut his leg and so we were back there again.  It was Wednesday night around 9pm and the kids were all down on the dock fishing in the sound.  Somehow, (we still don’t know how) Jack fell in the water off the dock head first!  However, thankfully Uncle Nick was there in no time pulling him to safety.  Nick tends to be the hero in these types of situations (click here for last years hero blog).  He is pretty much in the business of saving lives.  So Nick pulls him out and we realize he has cut his leg on a oyster shell pretty bad.  Fortunately, he didn’t get stitches since the wound was too wide but they put some medical tape to hold it together and a bandage.  Unfortunately, he was not allowed back in the ocean or pool so he was really bummed.  However he did still play in the sand, go in the ocean on Bert’s shoulders and get taken for ice cream by Nan and Pop.  He’s pretty much milkin’ it.  As for the Shallotte Urgent Care, as the nurse told Jack, “See you next year!”
