Common Pediatric Health Concerns and How to Address Them

Children’s health can be unpredictable, with various common conditions arising throughout their early years. From the sniffles of a common cold to the discomfort of ear infections and the persistent annoyance of allergies, these frequent pediatric health concerns require careful attention and management. Understanding these conditions and knowing when to seek professional help can make all the difference in ensuring a child’s overall well-being.

This article provides insights into some of the most common pediatric health issues and how pediatric care can help manage them effectively.

1. The Common Cold: Symptoms and Management

The common cold is perhaps the most frequent ailment affecting children. It is caused by various viruses, most notably rhinoviruses, and can result in symptoms such as a runny nose, coughing, sneezing, fever, and sore throat. While colds are generally mild and self-limiting, they can be particularly bothersome for young children and may lead to complications like ear infections or sinusitis.

To manage a common cold, ensure your child gets plenty of rest and stays hydrated. Over-the-counter medications may alleviate symptoms, but it is always best to consult with a pediatric doctor before administering any medication. Frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with sick individuals can help prevent the spread of colds.

2. Ear Infections: Causes and Treatments

Ear infections, or otitis media, are another common health issue in children. They occur when fluid builds up behind the eardrum, often due to a bacterial or viral infection following a cold. Symptoms include ear pain, difficulty sleeping, irritability, and sometimes fever.

A visit to a pediatric center is often necessary to diagnose and treat an ear infection. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve pain relievers or antibiotics. For recurrent ear infections, a pediatric phoenix specialist might suggest ear tubes to help drain fluid and reduce the risk of future infections.

3. Allergies: Identification and Management

Allergies are prevalent in children and can manifest in various ways, from seasonal allergies (hay fever) to food allergies. Symptoms can range from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes to more severe reactions like difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis.

Managing allergies involves identifying the allergen, which could be anything from pollen to peanuts, and taking steps to avoid it. A pediatrics near me clinic can perform allergy tests to pinpoint specific triggers. Once identified, treatment may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, or even immunotherapy, depending on the severity of the allergies.

4. Asthma: Recognizing and Controlling Symptoms

Asthma is a chronic condition affecting the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It is often triggered by allergens, respiratory infections, or environmental factors such as smoke or pollution.

Regular follow-ups with the best pediatrician in phoenix, az can help manage asthma effectively. Pediatricians will typically develop an asthma action plan that includes the use of inhalers, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to minimize exposure to triggers. Monitoring asthma closely and following the plan can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.

5. Eczema: Understanding and Treating Skin Conditions

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed skin. It commonly appears in children under the age of five and can be triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or changes in weather.

Treatment for eczema focuses on reducing symptoms and preventing flare-ups. This includes using moisturizing lotions, avoiding known irritants, and using topical steroids or other medications as prescribed by the best pediatrician mesa, az. Pediatricians may also recommend dietary changes or other lifestyle adjustments to help manage the condition.

6. Childhood Obesity: Prevention and Intervention

Childhood obesity is a growing concern that can lead to serious health problems later in life, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Contributing factors include poor diet, lack of physical activity, and genetic predisposition.

Pediatricians play a crucial role in preventing and managing obesity by providing guidance on healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

7. Oral Health: Dental Issues in Children

Dental problems, such as cavities and gum disease, are common in children. Poor oral hygiene, a high-sugar diet, and inadequate dental care practices contribute to these issues.

Regular visits to a pediatric doctor specializing in dentistry, along with good brushing and flossing habits, can prevent most dental problems. Pediatricians can also advise on fluoride treatments, sealants, and other preventive measures to maintain oral health.

8. Immunizations: Preventing Serious Illnesses

Immunizations are a fundamental aspect of pediatric care and are critical in preventing serious illnesses such as measles, mumps, whooping cough, and polio. Ensuring your child is up-to-date with vaccinations protects not only them but also the wider community.

Pediatricians provide vaccination schedules tailored to your child’s age and health status. Parents looking for a pediatric center should seek providers who emphasize the importance of vaccines and adhere to the recommended immunization guidelines.

directors cut on metanoia! it’s one of my favorites for some reason

you ask and i deliver!! metanoia, with commentary, under the cut with my commentary in bold italics

up next: redamancy!!

warnings: discussion of miscarriage 

“Alright, team. This week we’re headed back to Terra Mesa, AZ, for a series of murders at the university.” Penelope stood in front of the screen, outlining the recent crime scene photos as the rest of you looked through the case files. “Some of the residents at the Apache reservation nearby were injured in one of the attacks, and the presumed killer is leaving tokens around the reservation that are currently being treated as threats.” 

Finding an excuse to get back to Terra Mesa was hard, but I managed to figure out something that would be big enough for the BAU to make an appearance without involving other federal authorities. 

Any excuse to see Blackwolf is a welcome one, and I really wanted to bring him back into our world in AJF. He’s such a fantastic character and frankly it’s a crime we only saw him once. 

You all looked to Emily, who nodded once, and the team stood with her. “I’ll start with Derek at the reservation, and visit our old friend John Blackwolf, while the rest of you start building on what they’ve got at the precinct. Wheels up in thirty.” 

+++

Moments before the plane landed, your phone rang. You answered it before the rest of the team could see the name. “L/N...Speaking…Really?” Your voice didn’t give much away, but the team was listening in anyway. “Thank you...I’m currently out of town for work. Can I give you a call when I get home?...Great. Thanks...Yeah, I’ll be in touch.”

Looking back, this was before I moved to present tense and phased out “Y/N” and “L/N” conventions. Oh well. I’ll get over it eventually. 

That’s what the writing process is for, though, right? It’s always changing and always growing. 

You hung up and sat back in your seat. You did your best to school your expression into something pensive and neutral as you stared out the window. 

Pregnant. Again. Fuck.

Elation, fear, anxiety, and anticipation all warred within you. You hadn’t breathed a word to Aaron, even when you realized you were late, or suddenly didn’t like the smell of your own body wash. It seemed reasonable to keep it from him until you were absolutely sure. 

Reading this back while working on the Reality Check trilogy was a trip - I really wanted to lay a foundation for these emotions warring within Mom in this moment and explain why it was so hard to tell Aaron. 

I think I did alright?? 

A false alarm, or worse, would be a damning disappointment. 

+++

You were admittedly distracted as you went through the motions at the crime scene. A fog clouded your head, and you’d zoned out more than once as JJ tried to engage you in conversation. After a while, she decided to leave you alone, only returning when she was finished discussing MO with the officers outside. 

JJ crouched beside you as you took a few more photos. “You alright?”

My dumb ass forgot JJ was eight months pregnant here, but it’s fine. She’s athletic enough to crouch and stand up if she’s careful. 

It was when I was reading this back that I decided to put all the episode/canon notes into a big spreadsheet to keep track of shit. My brain is a sieve. 

“Just fine, Jayje.” Your voice sounded tired even to your own ears. 

She didn’t buy it. Her hand rose to your upper arm, squeezing a little. “I’m here if you need anything, okay? You know that.” 

You nodded. “I know.” 

“I’m serious. Anything.” She leaned in close to you. “And it all stays with me. Nothing goes to Hotch unless you tell me it’s okay.”

This was a line of dialogue looking to include somewhere as well. There’s always that element of discretion because they all work together. Because Hotch was unit chief for so long, there’s always that feeling that mom (or anyone else) could tattle without realizing it. 

I originally had this in a really early one of my fics, when I had Reader joining the team in season one and she and Hotch were married already, but it was scrapped and shuffled into pieces that actually made sense. It was a profiler, profiled episode where mom looked at Derek and said “I’m not my husband. You don’t have to hide from me. Anything you tell me stays right here between us unless you want me to talk to him about it.”

No matter what iteration of Reader I’m working with, there’s always a kinship with Derek. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because I feel like he’s slept on within the fandom? Idk I just love him and want him to have friends and adequate support all the time. He and Hotch are such strong folks and it’s a shame the CM writers don’t know how to use the great characters they’ve created. 

You bumped her shoulder with yours. “Thanks.” 

Thoughts raced around in your head on repeat. There was part of you that wanted to tell Aaron right away, just step out and call him right then. Another part of you couldn’t fathom putting him at risk for that kind of loss again. Not after the first time. 

What he didn’t know couldn’t hurt him, and you could handle it on your own, right? It wouldn’t be so bad to wait another few weeks? Just until the end of the first trimester. 

+++

Three days into the case with very little progress, the director was under pressure to have this case solved, and solved quickly. Working closely with the Native American community was good PR for the FBI - failing to solve a case as more university students were murdered was decidedly not.

Thus, Aaron was flown in from Quantico Hello, passive voice! Nice to see you! to oversee the investigation, and act as a liaison for additional support, should it become necessary. I had to figure out how to get Section Chief Aaron out here...Once again, your emotions were at war. It was always a delight to have him by your side in the field, but he’d know something was on your mind. If he asked you outright, you couldn’t - wouldn’t - lie to him. 

Aaron arrived at the precinct faster than you expected. He held back a smile when he saw you, electing to re-introduce himself to the police chief and make nice before formally stepping in as the FBI authority on-site. You were the only member of the team that didn’t already know everyone - the Terra Mesa cult killings were before your time at the BAU, and indeed even before your time at the FBI. 

This was before I had a “real” ajf timeline, so I sprinkled little things in here to help myself when I actually sat down and put it all together. 

Emily had you bouncing between the crime scene and the precinct, so you had yet to visit the reservation. The infamous Blackwolf was still a mystery to you, but you’d heard a great deal about him from Aaron. 

“Hotch, Y/N, can you take a trip to the reservation to see how Spencer and JJ are getting along? We want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to work collaboratively with Blackwolf, and I’m sure another familiar face would go a long way.” 

In the car, Aaron held your hand. It was nice to have him out in the field, a rare occurrence these days. You often missed him during the longer cases, but it was much more fun to talk about your day when he wasn’t beside you for most (if not all) of it. 

My mom just said something about this regarding quarantine - she’s like “it’s so boring to tell your dad what I did all day while we were...sitting next to each other working from home.” 

I laughed. 

Unlike Strauss, he was very-hands off with the units under his jurisdiction, and it worked. It kept him out of the field and on the good side of the unit chiefs. The section was performing beautifully, with few bureaucratic hangups and even fewer infractions. About halfway through the drive, a smile crossed his face. 

Any opportunity to emphasize that Aaron is really capable of taking over the bureau is an opportunity I’m going to seize. 

“What’s funny?” You asked, laughing a little. There was something warm in your chest that bloomed whenever Aaron smiled, and the joy usually bubbled out of your mouth - often without permission. The rare treat almost made you forget about the rock in your stomach. Almost. 

“I want to see something when we get to the reservation.”

“Oh?”

He nodded, a secret little smile still on his lips. “Just trust me and follow my lead.”

You scoffed. “Don’t I always?” You paused, and he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth. “Wait. Don’t answer that.” 

And thus a very early indicator of their dynamic is exposed…

This is the fun thing about writing out of order - there’s something so exciting about going back and reading stuff when you’re building up to a certain point and finding the groundwork you’ve already established. It’s like building the roof of the house before the foundation and then you’ve suddenly got a whole house. It’s cool. 

He smiled at you before schooling his expression into his normal resting skepticism and removed his hand from yours as you approached the reservation. You wiped the pout off your face after a moment, falling into the professional modality you’d developed prior to Aaron’s promotion, when you had to keep your hands each other in the field. 

Those years were brutal. 

Brutal, indeed, and I can WAIT to explore them further!! We’ve got three years where mom and Aaron work together on the same team before he’s promoted and I’m so excited to see how that dynamic works out once the team is made aware of their relationship. 

You placed your sunglasses on top of your head as you stepped out of the car and followed Aaron to the reservation school. 

“Hotchner.” A handsome, well-built man with an impressive knife on his belt called out to you from across the courtyard, and a small smile broke out across Aaron’s face. 

“Blackwolf.” 

They exchanged firm handshakes, and Blackwolf’s attention fell to you. You watched as his eyes quickly jumped from your face, to your gun, to your engagement ring and down to your shoes, before returning to your eyes. 

I LOVE JOHN BLACKWOLF!!!

“Agent Y/N L/N. Your reputation precedes you,” you said with a smile and an extended hand. 

Blackwolf snorted, but took your hand in a firm, warm grasp. “I’m sure it does, if Agent Hotchner here has anything to do with it.” He glanced at the both of you and turned. “Follow me.” 

If we don’t start with snark when we meet Blackwolf, what do we have left? 

Nothing. 

He took you around the reservation, explaining the possible weaknesses in defense should the serial killer jump the highway. You and Aaron trailed a little behind him as you walked, but Blackwolf never looked back as he spoke. 

He was explaining the possible positions of an attack from the hill, and the possibility that their assailant could attack from any direction, but “...that shouldn’t be an issue for Agent L/N.” He glanced back at Aaron, the first time he’d done so. “Was it your influence that inspired your fiance to carry two guns, or did she start doing that on her own?”

THIS LINE RIGHT HERE is what started this whole fic for me. I thought of including John in AJF really early on, and I knew right off the bat that Aaron was going to trick him and not tell him that he and Reader are together as a kind of test. This moment always existed as John passing that test with flying colors. 

You glanced up at Aaron, eyes wide and alarmed. Aaron only smiled at you and replied, “I taught her. She carries hers -”

“On the offside, I know,” he finished. “It’s smart, if you’re into that sort of thing.” 

Aaron huffed a laugh. “Don’t start.” 

You sputtered a little, and you lost step with them for a moment before jogging to Aaron’s side. “Hold on, back up. How did you…?” You were speechless, to say the least, and you could tell Aaron was doing everything in his power to keep from laughing out loud. 

This scene was so alive in my head, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. There were like eight or nine different versions of this dialogue I worked on before settling on this one. 

Finally, Blackwolf stopped and faced you, gesturing to you as you spoke. “Just like with Agent Hotchner’s left, your right step is slightly heavier, and you favor your right arm for balance when you walk. When you walk beside him, you’re on his right, placing your weapons on the outside of your frames for the best defense. Now, whether or not you do that on purpose I don’t know, but it’s an inherently protective posture.”

You blinked rapidly for a moment, adjusting to the onslaught of information. “How did you know I was engaged to him?” You threw a thumb in Aaron’s direction. 

He raised an eyebrow, and a smile ghosted across his face. “Can’t give away all my secrets, now, can I?” 

The truth of it? I have no fucking clue how he’d figure that one out so I just left in another “Blackwolf Magic” moment. 

A laugh left you. “That’s fair enough.” 

He opened his mouth and took a breath as if to speak again but closed it, squinting at you. You swallowed, feeling very exposed all of a sudden. His face transformed then, as if he’d realized something. “You should ask Agent Hotchner about perception. He may have learned a few things since last I saw him.” 

This was almost the big reveal, but then I realized John would have more tact than that. And it also wouldn’t be long enough, not to mention deeply unprofessional :)

You looked up at Aaron, but he only rolled his eyes good-naturedly at his friend and kept walking. 

+++

The way Aaron was around Blackwolf made your chest hurt a little less. They were like a pair of kid brothers - giving each other a hard time and cracking wise whenever they got the opportunity. Weak insults like “Captain America” and “Fortune Cookie” ran abound when out of earshot from the local officers, but there was a kind of deep respect and hard-won warmth that flowed freely through all their interactions. 

“What happened the last time you were out here?” You asked Aaron, on the way back from the university one night. 

Aaron looked at the road as he replied with a quirk of his lips. “I learned something.” He reached for your hand, and you held his in both of your own, kissing his knuckles. 

I really believe Aaron learned so much out in Terra Mesa in season one. There’s such a distinctive, yet subtle, shift between the Aaron who rolls up completely skeptical and the Aaron who’s willing to accept that “there are many roads that lead to the same place.” 

I LIVE FOR MEN WHO TEACH AND CHALLENGE EACH OTHER!!! 

+++

It was only when you were alone with Blackwolf, days later, scouting terrain on the border between the university and the reservation, did you ask him. “Were you going to say something earlier, on the first day Hotch was here?”

I love it when Mom calls Aaron “Hotch” at work, even when they’re alone. Makes me all soft. 

He nodded, crouched and studied the thicket-lined path. “I was.” 

You waited patiently and did your best to see what he saw. It was a hopeless endeavor. All you saw was a well-worn path surrounded by bushes of indistinguishable varieties.

“I was going to ask you when you’re due, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise.” He looked up at you with a crooked little smile. “Congratulations.” 

How on Earth…

Breathless laughter punctuated your next words. “Okay, I knew it was a possibility that Aaron had told you we were together, but I haven’t breathed a word about that to anyone...yet.” You sobered for a minute, thinking of the last time. 

He must have seen your face drop, because he stood and placed a hand on your shoulder. There was an understanding in his eyes, gentle and familiar. He treated you like he’d known you all your life, and you were grateful he took you as seriously as he did Aaron. “How many?”

There were so many options for this exchange as well, but I ended up loving the simplest one. There isn’t much that he needs to say. There’s a connection, I believe between Blackwolf and Hotch, and I wanted to extend that link to mom as well. 

Your lip quivered and your eyes stung. You swallowed, doing your best to keep it together. “Just the one.” 

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

You whispered your thanks and smiled a watery smile at him before wiping your eyes and getting back to business. “Did you see anything of use over here?”

He dropped his hand from your shoulder and followed your eyes down the path. “No, nothing here. We should track back to the reservation and see if our guest left anything new for us to find.” 

You turned, but a hand on your forearm stopped you. “You and Aaron are more alike than different in this, I think, so I’ll tell you this.” You met his eyes, and he seemed to almost look through you as he spoke. “Some things are meant to be carried together. Joy and grief are two of those things that are too heavy to bear on your own. Tell him today.” He released your arm and continued ahead as if he’d said nothing at all. 

There’s so much respect in accepting someone’s vulnerability, and then moving forward. It’s doesn’t change how that person sees the other. It’s just human. It’s part of them, and it doesn’t need to color every interaction from that point forward. 

My best friend calls these “so noted” moments. You just take the note and move on. 

After a moment, you followed him. 

The man really is like a fortune cookie. 

But he’s right. 

+++

You returned to the precinct with a lighter step than before, Blackwolf on your heels. Aaron squinted at you as you walked in, and you could tell he knew something had changed. 

Emily and Derek flew through the door behind you, and John pulled you back by the elbow to avoid getting run over in their haste. 

Contact!! I wanted to establish a little more familiarity between reader and John after their conversation. It was vulnerable and shifted their boundaries just enough for Aaron to notice. 

“We have a lead. Get roadblocks up now,” Emily had her phone out and was on the phone with JJ, who was at the university with Spencer. She spit instructions in only the way she could, and Aaron was hot on your heels as Emily tossed you the car keys and you all flooded out of the building. 

The takedown was decidedly eventful, and JJ got a black eye for her trouble. Dave took care of her by the ambulance while Emily directed traffic. You got caught up taking a few statements from the neighbors, and it was late evening by the time you were all on your way back to the hotel. 

In the car, Aaron was quiet. Your hands were linked over the center console, and he rubbed little circles into your skin. 

“What’s going on with you, honey?” He knew better than to look at you while he asked, but his circles never ceased or stuttered or hiccuped on your hand. 

You sighed. “Can I tell you when we’re back at the hotel?”

He nodded. “So, something is on your mind?”

“Yeah.” 

“Good, bad?” His tone was prompting, but not pushy, and you appreciated it. 

You tried to offer him a smile. “Good, I think.” 

He squeezed your hand. 

Again, any little moment where I can just let the implication speak for itself is one I’m going to grab. They don’t need to be crazy verbose or explain themselves. They just get it. 

And they TRUST EACH OTHER!

+++

You dropped down into the middle of the bed, crossing your legs. Aaron sat across from you, mirroring you with his legs crossed and his hands loose on his knees. 

Pajamas were on, teeth brushed, and you were both ready for bed. 

You heaved a deep breath. “So, John said something to me today that had me thinking.”

Aaron’s mouth quirked up in a smile. “He has that effect on people.” 

“So I’ve heard.” You took his hands. “He said to me today that there are some things that are meant to be carried together, and that joy and grief are two of those things.” 

I’d like to think the way Reader started this conversation really freaked him out, but he does his best to stay cool and I’m really proud of him. 

His eyes were soft and patient as he waited for you to continue, his mouth relaxed. 

“My doctor called today -”

“Are you alright?” He couldn't help but interrupt, and a little huff of a laugh left you. 

Ah. There it is. He can’t help himself. 

Can you blame him?

“Yeah, I’m fine. She just wanted to tell me I’m due in March, is all.” You let the words tumble out as casually as possible, but your shaky breath betrayed you. 

Aaron was quiet for a moment, just looking at you. After what felt like forever, he pulled you forward by your hands, and you crawled into the hollow haven of his body. His hand traced over your arm, the other resting over your temple, as if to hide you from the world. 

“Are you upset?” You asked, your voice small. 

You felt him shake his head. “Not even a little. In fact, quite the opposite.” He kissed your hair. “How are you feeling?”

The lack of big response was really important to me. If he’s gotten really excited, I think mom would have felt undue pressure, and I think he knew that. 

It’s another moment where I got to show that Aaron fully understand what she needs at any given point, and that fact itself isn’t necessarily significant enough to be acknowledged on its own. It’s tacit. 

Your fingers wrapped around his arm, and he took his hand from your face, curling his arm around your waist. “I’m really happy, but I’m really scared too...I don’t know.”

“That’s okay, sweetheart.”

Tears pricked at your eyes. “I just - I don’t want to fuck it up this time.” 

His hands stilled, and he grew quiet, his voice low. “What?”

“I don’t want to lose this one and I was scared to tell you because if I told you and we lost him, you would be sad and I just don’t want you to be sad and I don’t want you to lose anyone else, ever.” You weren’t sure you were coherent, but that just about summed it up. 

That’s the wild thing about grief, you know? It puts all these wild stories in your head that it’s your fault, even when people you love tell you otherwise. 

I think even after faith, and even after how well Aaron handled the loss - so supportive and affirming the whole time - there’s this doubt that she’s not good enough, that she could have done something differently. 

It’s a doubt Aaron recognizes in himself, and it breaks his heart. 

“Baby, look at me.” 

You leaned back and met his eyes. He held your gaze as he spoke, almost unblinking. “You did not fuck anything up. It was not your fault. These things happen, and yes, they’re sad. Yes, I grieve for the child I didn’t get a chance to meet. Yes, it’s painful. But honey,” there was a desperate edge to his voice and he wiped your tears away with his thumbs, “you’re my partner and I love you. You don’t have to go through anything alone ever again.”

You nodded. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you right away.” 

He pulled you close again, tight to his chest. “It’s okay. It’s okay.” 

He completely understands. I mean, he’s the guy that kept his separation from his team for weeks without breathing a word. He knew that they would be there for him, but he just thought he could do it on his own. 

These idiots are made for each other, I swear. 

(Well, they are….)

You were quiet for a little while. Then - 

“Did you say him?” Aaron’s voice was nearly trembling. Because you knew him so well, you knew it was barely-contained euphoria. You knew he was holding back because he didn’t want to scare you, didn’t want to get too excited in case something went wrong, but his efforts were futile. You saw right through them, and hoped his joy would last and that the worst was behind you. 

That’s love and trust, babey! 

You turned your head, pressing your nose into his neck. “Just a feeling. I dunno.” 

He sighed, his arms winding impossibly further around you. “We’ll just have to see, won’t we?” 

You nodded into him. 

“When’s your ten-week?”

“Two weeks, on Wednesday.” 

His breath washed through your hair as he pressed his cheek to the crown of your head. “Can I come with you?”

He’s learned so much and I cry about it regularly. I just watched that episode where Haley calls him because she’s at Jack’s doctors appointment and he’s not there and he just screws out up and had a big weep about it. 

You nodded. 

When you woke up in the morning, You were still curled in his arms, on top of the covers, with the lights on. Aaron’s face was pressed into your hair and his body was flush against yours from shoulder to calf. 

One of his (truly massive) hands rested over the waistband of your pajama bottoms. 

It’s going to be okay. 

That concludes this installment! I LOVED going back through this one with a fine-toothed comb. Definitely one of my favorites in this series. I’m so glad so many of you love it like I do!!

Worried about not saving on your next home loan? We are here to tell you we’ve got your back! Now, you’re probably wondering why we are so confident in helping you 😉

Well, we have an AMAZING team of loan officers ready to provide you with the most personalized financing options AND we offer tons of different home loan options to see any type of scenario. With mortgage lenders AZ, you could save thousands of dollars and still live in your dream house. Below are some of our favorite tactics that are effective for saving money on your next home loan in Mesa. Number three is our Favorite so make sure you don’t miss it!

1. Maximize Your Home Equity Home equity simply refers to the portion of your home that actually belongs to you. You can use home equity to your advantage and save on your mortgage. Utilizing your home equity perfectly can come in handy in reducing your monthly payments and helping you pay off your debts faster (bye bye debt!) One recommended way of doing this is using the cash-out refinance option. How does this work? It allows you to refinance your mortgage and borrow simultaneously. Ask us about this option if this sounds like a good scenario for you!

2. Take advantage of Reverse Mortgage Arizona Now that you are familiar with how home equity can help you save on your next home, you can also use it to obtain a reverse mortgage in Arizona.  This particular technique is suitable for loan borrowers who are approaching retirement age. This type of mortgage allows you to access your home equity and use it as collateral for borrowing again. This type of loan does not warrant repayment until you no longer use the home as your primary residence. A reverse mortgage can help senior homeowners to meet their financial needs. Check out our Reverse mortgages page for more details and find out if this is the best route for you.

3. Consider Flexible Payment Approaches One specific approach that is quite effective is the biweekly home loan repayment. It allows you to repay your loan half at a time every two weeks, hence you end up making 26 total payments. Typically, this helps to shorten the life of your mortgage, reducing the accruing costs and interests. In the long run, this will help in scraping years off of your home loan life, and definitely make you pay less. Make sure you are familiar with your lenders’ biweekly payment schedule since guidelines do vary.

Some mortgage companies in AZ charge some fees for this service so be sure to inquire first. For instance, if your loan repayment schedule allows for additional repayments, you can divide your monthly payments into half, especially if the repayment is calculated monthly. Over the long haul, you will end up paying an additional month’s worth off your mortgage each year, and probably pay it all off sooner than you had expected. 🎉👏🏼

4. Consider An Adjustable Rate Mortgage. An ARM as it is commonly referred, allows your interest rates to fluctuate and match the market prices. This approach is particularly recommended for any buyer who is not planning to live in their home for more than five years. This is because ARMs offer you lower interest rates for the first five years before they start to fluctuate.

5. Look For A Cheaper And More Flexible Loan Rate. Conduct in-depth research concerning the options you have. Don’t just take a nosedive into a home loan you don’t know much about. Most importantly, always choose loans with lower rates and those that are flexible enough to allow multiple repayments. For any homebuyers who have their eyes on refinancing at any point in the future, it is highly advisable that you ensure the expenses do not surpass the potential benefits.

6. Maintain Your Repayments Even When Interests Go Down. It may feel tempting to lower your repayment as soon as mortgage interest rates go down. Before you do this, don’t forget that this will have an impact on your loan principal.  Maintaining it at the same level as it was before the lowered interest rate will help reduce your principal by a reasonable margin, more so if the drop is consistent.

Are you ready to SAVE on your home loan? Find the BEST personalized option to help you save money now. Be sure to get with one of our expert loan officers and we’ll take care of you.

[thebluesberries]

Name: Alexander Navarro

Nickname(s): Alex

Birthday: July 7th

Gender: Cismale (He/Him)

Age: Twenty-Two

Sexuality: (?)

Height: 6’2’ | 189cm

Hometown: Mesa, AZ

Role: The Knight

AESTHETIC

Alex takes after appearance from his father; dashingly good looks, and charm. His tousled brown hair is curly in nature, making it incredibly difficult to maintain. He often keeps it cut shorter for his sake, and lets the curls loose rather than spending half an hour to make them straight. When paired with his warm hazel eyes you can't help but be charmed by his boyish good looks. His features are rather angular, although he maintains a certain amount of softness to them - making him less intimidating than he seems. He's well fit from lacrosse, and his strong build comes from hours spent on the field.

PERSONALITY

From a young age Alexander has always been very protective over everything he has. Perhaps it was the notion that everything could be stolen from him in an instant that fueled this. From his stuffed hawk when he was four to his friends, family, hom, Alex has always kept an eye on the ones he loves. He will sure to go extreme lengths to keep those he cares for close to him and safe, whether that ultimately leads to self-sacrifice in the future. While he doesn't like to admit it, he will have a blind eye to rationale when something he loves is stolen from him. It is truly a crutch that his personal relationships drive his actions. Alexander has such a large capacity for kindness that he is not afraid to show, but at the same time maintains a persona of seriousness that he adopted from his father.

Unlike his free spirited and carefree sister, Grace, Alexander is very practical and straightforward with nearly everything he approaches. As a child his father called him 'little hawk', his eyes could see things that no one else could and he was very keen on his intentions. Saying that Alex doesn't relish in the idea of risk and adventure is a stretch but he believes that there are times when things need to be handled in a constructive manner.

Often Alexander can be a bit close-minded and stubborn but none of it is ever really intentional on his part. Due to the constant amounts of stress placed on him by his father he can sometimes shut others out in not the most ethical of ways when he is upset. He is not destructive in this way but sometimes he can be shown to hurt others' feelings with this side of him.

While he doesn't have a mean streak, he can become irritated quite easily when things don't go his way. He's never really outward with his anger however and prefers just to passionately brood by himself when he can get away. But he has a limit, and Alex is someone most don't want to see truly angry. He sometimes is very private and sensitive, internalizing his feelings a great deal. Much in the way that he protects others' feelings, he protects his own, and this lack of healthy emotional expression can lead to a lot of stress and frustration for himself. Understanding himself and his place in the world has always been quite important to Alex, he wants nothing more than to prove himself to others.

He has a natural, playful demeanor once he gets to know someone. He likes to joke around and it's odd if he can't make someone chuckle at least once during their conversation. Despite trying to distance himself from people emotionally, it's safe to say Alex becomes attached rather easily. It doesn't take him long to grow a bond with someone, and that's when the protectiveness sets in. Alex is protective without fault. He would defend someone he cared about with his last breath if it came to that.

Deep down any outsider can see that Alexander has the making to be a great and just leader in the world. He will lay his life on the line to save or help nearly anyone he comes across, human or creature. He couldn't couldn't count on one hand the amount of reckless decisions he's made because of how selfless he is. However, when it comes down to it he will make hard decisions to protect that of his family and the ones he truly cares about.

Alexander has a certain way of communicating and a good moral code that often wins the hearts of others around him. Alex has a steely and strong sense of character that is almost regal in a way. Now being reckless does have to have a certain bravery aspect to it. For a man of such pent up emotion, he has little fear in the trials that are placed before him. His bravery is quite unmatched when it comes to others. He'd run into the mouth of the Beast for the greater good.

ATTRIBUTES

likes. Alexander is a true sports fanatic and loves his fair share of football, basketball, and baseball. He loves his giant golden retriever, Koda, whom he always says is the love of his life. He will never turn down chocolate milkshakes and a burger at the diner. Alexander has always liked to travel and hike, especially with his mother and sister. Alexander has also acquired the taste for coffee and normally has to have at least 2 or more cups of coffee that morning for him to have a good day. He also loves music although he can't sing himself, listening to others is almost a relaxing thing for him.

dislikes. There's nothing more Alex hates than bullies and bigots. With his experiences of being bullied as a kid, he will always stand up to defend someone in need. Alex hates the smell of cigarette smoke and doesn't understand the appeal that smoking has. He cannot stand the thought of liars and doesn't take that lightly. Alex hates seafood and can't eat it without making himself sick. He also detests heights.

strengths. 

brave: Alex is not afraid to take risks for the greater good, it's in the nature of his blood and character. practical: He has always had a practical mindset and is not too much of a dreamer. swordsmanship: (post divine role) He has such a graceful and archaic way of fighting that makes him quite deadly with a sword. horse-back riding: Alex used to constantly go riding around with his mother and is quite comfortable on a horse. good-natured: Alexander is just a good human at heart, he always takes the utmost care of everyone he meets. athleticism: After years of playing sports, Alex is quite fit.

weaknesses. 

stubborn: Alex can sometimes be a bit of a hot-head when he's stuck in a particularly stressful situation. insecure: Constant pressure comes with many doubts and fears. selfless: He can often care too much about others to the point where he forgets about himself. moody: It doesn't take much to put Alex in a bit of a mood. He tends too be a bit broody. close-minded: He is not judgmental, but it takes a lot for him to put a large amount of trust into someone else.

fears.

failing: There is always a fear that Alex won't live up to his parent's or friends standards. heights: It took one experience of riding a Ferris wheel to make him weary of heights.

ABILITIES & GIFTS

enhanced condition | Alexander's physical condition has been enhanced allowing him to be stronger, faster, and more endured than the average human. enhanced combat | Alexander is now naturally adept with a broadsword, and quite deadly in combat. Kingmaker | This sword was gifted to him by the Queen herself in passing. The sword itself was forged on the highest mountain in Aerwar. He is unsure about its full potential.

HISTORY

Parents immigrated from Barcelona, grew up on a farm in Kansas, full-ride for Lacrosse to Thornhill.

Dry Star Restoration Provides Water Damage Repair, Restoration, and Cleanup in Tempe

Dry Star Restoration, a company based in Mesa, AZ, is happy to announce that they are offering water damage repair in Tempe and surrounding areas. The company has been one of the top providers of water damage and fire damage restoration services in Arizona since 2012. Their team of certified professionals has a proven record of excellent response rates and experienced mitigation knowledge to minimize the disruption resulting from a disaster. They are strategically positioned to be able to take care of any residential or commercial property restoration requirements, whether large of small, from start to finish.

“Dry Star Restoration is a full-service water damage restoration company in Tempe AZ, responding to disasters in the surrounding areas,” says Richard Appel, owner of Dry Star Restoration. “We are a family-owned company dedicated to helping Tempe residents and businesses get their homes and property back to pre-disaster condition. The Dry Star team of water extraction experts are on call every day, 24/7, so when disaster hits, we are there to recover the damage.”

When providing water mitigation services, their first priority is offering safe, high quality, and exceptional customer service. For those who have suffered flood damage of any kind, their professionally trained and certified water damage cleanup specialists can quickly and effectively provide a solution on short notice. They will not just fix the original problem, but they will also ensure that any affected area is professionally cleaned, sanitized, and deodorized.

From any emergency that a homeowner or property owner may encounter, whether it is broken or leaky pipes; toilet overflow and leaks; air conditioner leaks; bathtub overflow; sink overflow; crawlspace drying; sump pump failure; refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, and dishwasher overflow; or hardwood floor water damage, their water restoration technicians are all certified and highly trained in the most recent home water damage restoration and remediation methods and technology.

For instance, they use moisture detecting tools to determine where the water has migrated. All of these areas are appropriately dried and taken care of as well. If there is any structural damage, the structural element is repaired or replaced. Meticulous attention to detail and up to date techniques are used to prevent damage from buckling, delaminating, warping, and swelling. With their timeliness and professionalism, the unpleasant odors, mold, and other health problems will be avoided or eliminated.

In addition to water damage restoration services, they can also provide emergency asbestos removal in Mesa, Tempe, and surrounding areas. This is a vital service because microscopic asbestos fibers are invisible to the naked eye and these are odorless and tasteless. Furthermore, asbestos exposure does not result into any immediate symptoms, so that people may not realize they have inhaled or swallowed asbestos dust. After the asbestos fibers get inside the body, they never dissolve, and the body will find it very difficult to expel them. Over time, the trapped asbestos fibers can cause inflammation, scarring and possible genetic damage to the body’s cells.

Home and other buildings that were erected before 1980 in the US contain asbestos in some form of another. It was a popular insulation and fire protection material during that time. Although the potential risks and possible links to lung disease were already known before the 1970s, asbestos continued to be used in homes and buildings until the growing number of lawsuits can no longer be ignored.

Aside from emergency water removal and asbestos abatement, Dry Star Restoration can also take care of sewage cleanup and removal needs. A problem with the sewer system can result into more serious problems. In addition to the unpleasant stench created, other issues such as fungi, viruses, and other pathogens can result into serious health hazards. If the sewage problem is left untreated, it can result into major structural damage that can be very costly to repair.

Those who require the services of professionals for 24-7 water damage restoration in Phoenix, Tempe, and other nearby places in Arizona can visit the Dry Star Restoration website, or contact them through the telephone or via email.

Have You Chosen The Perfect Surgeon For Lasik Vision Correction?

  Almost every local clinics offering visual care would claim to offer the services of top Lasik surgeons. But how far do they stand up to their claims? You can find that out using a little diligent observation and research. Here are the pointers to make it.

  Experience Matters, But...

  While looking for Lasik eye doctors in Arizona, you would surely want to look for those having years of experience. You will find several doctors claiming to have performed hundreds of eye surgeries. This is true, impressive. But it is equally important to look for surgeons who stick to the industry standards to choose patients. A responsible doctor would screen out the candidates who are not suitable for Lasic. Because everyone requiring a vision correction is not suitable for this surgery.

  Your Comfort Matters

  Several Lasik eye doctors in AZ offer a free consultation service. This gives you a golden opportunity to access if you will be comfortable with the surgeon. A dedicated surgeon would eagerly answer to all your questions. Expect him to be upfront about all the risks and limitations of the procedure. And instead of overwhelming promises, he/she would talk about the most realistic expectations. What is more, you can get some good deals, as well.

  All the Credentials

  The top Lasik doctors would have the accreditations to attest their credibility. You can check whether your chosen doctor is linked with the local chamber of commerce. Also, look whether he/she has the membership of medical organizations like the American society of cataract and refractive surgery and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. It is also essential to see whether your doctor is FACS designated. That is to see whether the surgeon has the fellowship of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This it can testify that the surgeon would strictly adhere to the organization's code of conduct and ethics.

  Referrals and Reviews

  If you know some friends and family who have undergone Lasik surgery of late, then you can get some good references. You can also ask your personal doctor for references. Otherwise, you might have to turn to the online forums and reviews for the licensed surgeons practicing near you. However, remember that reviews can only assist you in gauging your options. There will always be going to be mixed reviews, as well as paid reviews. It is tricky to differentiate the authentic ones with that of the paid reviews. So let not the online reviews be your determining factor.

  Fine-Tuning Your Search

  After you have boiled down to 2-3 surgeons, it is the time to choose the surgeon you would go for. You can filter your search by judging parameters like the techniques and equipment that each of them uses, the staff that accompanies them, the comprehensiveness of their packages, among other factors.

  It always makes sense to look for local surgeons with a good reputation. If you live near Phoenix, Mesa, and adjoining areas, Arizona Lasik is worth giving a check. A visit to the company website can tell you more about their diverse services.

Seven Allergy Associates Tips You Need To Learn Now | allergy associates

An allergy associates book is a fantastic gift for any allergy sufferer and will not only provide great relief to the symptoms of your allergies but may even prevent further attacks. You may have come up with all kinds of allergy associates but if you want relief from these it's important that you actually know what causes them in the first place.

Allergy associations are all over the internet and are easy to access. They come with many different ways of finding out more about the various triggers that cause the most discomfort for you. Once you know exactly what causes your allergies, you should be able to reduce the amount you are exposed to these triggers.

It's important to understand what causes your allergic reaction to be caused by the allergen. This is a very important step towards reducing these symptoms. For some people the allergen is actually airborne and can be inhaled by you if you are exposed. Others may find that their symptoms are triggered by foods that you eat such as nuts and eggs.

In order to be successful in curing your allergy, you must learn about what causes your particular allergy. Many people will find that once they are able to determine this, they are able to avoid certain foods altogether, which in turn causes them to feel better. Not only will your symptoms be reduced but you will also notice an improvement in your overall health.

Another thing that you need to understand about allergy associates is that you must change your lifestyle in order to prevent allergies. If you don't take care of yourself and make sure you get enough rest and exercise then your body can become overactive and over sensitive to allergens. This will cause you to experience many symptoms including sneezing, watery eyes and even headaches. Changing your lifestyle and making sure you are getting plenty of sleep, drinking plenty of water and eating balanced meals will help you overcome your allergy problems and keep your body functioning at its best.

If you suffer from allergies, then it's important that you learn about allergy associates so that you can be as prepared as possible for each allergic reaction. When you are prepared, it will be easier for you to deal with the symptoms and the allergy itself. This will ensure that your allergies will be controlled and eliminated.

OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!! Trump doesn’t care what color you are, he stands for ALL AMERICANS!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #red #removeeverydemocrat Posted @withregram • @christianllamar President Trump in the executive order protecting black people: “ In recent years, these workers have been disproportionately represented by historically disadvantaged groups, including African Americans and other minorities, those without a college degree....“ H1 visas go to high paying jobs ranging anywhere from $50,000-150,000. When a foreigner is given this job it hurts our US citizens here in America, because there is a high probability money goes across the ocean to a foreign country instead of being spent here locally on US soil. For all these US COMPANIES claiming they stand with the American Black Community, let me see how many H1-B and F1 visas you REVOKE thereafter filling the positions with Black US citizens. You say you care about Black People? Put your money where your mouth is. TALK IS CHEAP! Of course I did a thread in April 2020, which was President Trump’s 1st executive order protecting black people from losing their JOBS to aliens. The first executive order suspended all alien entry into the United States with small exceptions. Thank you President @realdonaldtrump for standing for Black American citizens & all Americans! #presidenttrump #donaldtrump #trump #trump2020 #donaldjtrump #maga #makeamericagreatagain #keepamericagreat #merica #trumpsupporters #republican #republic #scottsdale #arizona #paradisevalley #az #mesa #chandler #santanvalley #glendale #election2020 #2020election #blackagenda #BlackvoicesforTrump #blacksfortrump #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #blm ‪Disclaimer: I do not support black lives matter because they are a transgender led organization, they push LGBTQ agenda, supports abortion, backs unions, is backed by the Democratic Party who has a history full of racists & overall BLM doesnt have any substance or facts straight!‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBx1FyNgK64/?igshid=15tymbeqlpoam
