INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ideally, you should have the girth about 3/4 as tight as you prefer it when you first tighten it. Then move your horse a few steps steps, forward or back. Next, tighten the girth gradually once again. As a general rule, your girth should be tight enough so that you can fit 2 fingers under it but the saddle won't move easily.  Always tighten the girth again once you have warmed up, as horses tend to puff their stomach out when being tacked up. Remember to check the tightness of the girth right before mounting.

SUMMARY: Make sure the girth is tight enough.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can even begin searching for the right condo for you, you have to know what you can afford. A trip to the bank will not only give you the financial details you will need to proceed in purchasing a condo, but also establish a reasonable budget for your income level.  You may want to consider visiting more than one financial institution in order to get the best interest rate on your loan. A little legwork in the beginning can save you a lot of money in the long run. Do not mistake pre-qualification with pre-approval. Your pre-qualified amount is not a guaranteed amount, but this must be done before your finances are more thoroughly investigated and you are pre-approved. Now that you're pre-approved, you should have received a conditional agreement in writing from your lender. This indicates that you are one step closer to obtaining an actual mortgage, and will give you bargaining power when dealing with property sellers. It will also define the upper limit of what you can afford. Spend some time to scope out the area of a few places you really like. Pay attention to traffic patterns, proximity to major area attractions, grocery stores and any other factors that may be either appealing, or unappealing, to you and your family. This is especially important if you choose to forego using a realtor. Finding you potential listings that might be a good fit is the primary purpose of a realtor, but instead of hiring a realtor you might:  Subscribe to a real estate magazine Check online listings, like Craigslist and zillow.com Page through local newspapers, which may have listings Peruse neighborhoods you would like to live Search real estate websites online, which frequently maintain a database of homes for sale Once you have narrowed down your choices to a short list, find out when the condo will be available for viewing. Often there are scheduled open houses, but you may have to contact the seller to set up a separate viewing. Take your time going through the condo and make special notes of pros and cons.  Take along a notepad to help you remember what you liked and didn't like about each condo you walk through. Ask questions about what types of condo fees are associated with the complex. Although condo communities come with the conveniences of provided upkeep and other services, these benefits also come with a price tag. If your property is included as part of a community HOA, you will need to pay a monthly fee to maintain common areas (landscaping, pool, playground, fitness area, etc.). This fee should be included in your pre-qualified amount.

SUMMARY: Get pre-approved for a loan. Use your pre-approved loan amount to your advantage. Research ideal areas. Search actively for homes in your ideal areas. Attend open houses. Inquire about Home Owner Associations (HOAs).


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most cases of croup are able to be treated at home, but if your child is still sick after 48 hours, has a stridor, or if their symptoms worsen, call your doctor. Most cases of croup are caused by a virus, so antibiotics will not be effective. However, your doctor may be able to prescribe medicines to ease your child's breathing and treat their symptoms.  Ask whether a steroid (glucocorticoid) would be beneficial for your child. These steroids help to reduce inflammation in the airways and make it easier to breathe. Inquire if a nebulizer treatment (breathing treatment) would be beneficial. A nebulizer vaporizes the medicine which the child then breathes in through a mask. This is a common treatment for children with croup. These tests would help to confirm the diagnosis of croup and to make sure your child doesn't have another illness with similar symptoms. These are rarely necessary, but if your child's condition is worsening, discuss these tests with your doctor. Usually, using steroids or other medications to ease breathing and treat the cough is sufficient to help your child begin to feel better. Croup will usually resolve on its own, so treating the symptoms is enough. However, blood tests and x-rays are an option if your child does not seem to be getting better. If your child is dehydrated or has very labored breathing, they need immediate medical help. Signs of dehydration include reduced urination, few or no tears when crying, a dry or sticky mouth, or sunken eyes. If your child has these signs, or if they are having extreme difficulty breathing, take them to the emergency room or call for paramedics. Seek immediate medical attention if your child has bluish tinges to lips or fingernails, cannot swallow due to a swollen throat, or if they show signs of retraction (their neck or chest muscles pull in when they breathe).

SUMMARY:
Visit a doctor if the symptoms lasts longer than 48 hours. Ask your doctor if blood tests or x-rays are necessary. Know when to seek immediate medical attention.
