We didn't just treat Maisyn's epilepsy; we gave her childhood back.
When 10-year-old Maisyn's mom first noticed brief "zoning out" moments, she trusted her instincts, setting off a years-long journey to find answers. After numerous tests, misdiagnoses, and medications that failed to bring relief, hope finally arrived at the Neurosciences Center at CHRISTUS Children's.
Under the care of Dr. Gustavo Charria-Ortiz and Dr. Mark Lee, Maisyn underwent advanced brain imaging, became the first patient at our facility to receive stereo-EEG monitoring, and ultimately had a successful laser ablation surgery to stop her seizures for good.
Today, Maisyn is seizure-free and back to gymnastics, roller skating, and shining her bright spirit everywhere she goes. 💜

During this National Epilepsy Awareness Month, read Maisyn's inspiring story and learn how our pediatric neuroscience experts are helping children reclaim their futures at https://christus.io/maisynsstory

In celebration of Día de los Mu***os, our Culinary Medicine team opened the kitchen for a special gathering where patients, families, and Associates came together to honor loved ones who have passed.
Through shared stories, sharing a meal and art, the space was filled with both remembrance and joy. These moments remind us of the tenderness of life and the importance of keeping our eyes on the eternal joy that awaits us beyond this world.

At just five months old, Ander was diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome, a rare condition affecting the left side of his heart, during a routine checkup in Mexico. After an unsuccessful procedure there, his family moved to El Paso in search of better care. That’s when they met Dr. Vibhash Kumar, who works alongside Dr. Victor Bautista, pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, to provide children with advanced pediatric cardiology care and life-changing surgeries.

Ander's family encourages other parents to lean on their doctors, their faith, and their community through every step, “Dr. Bautista told us he’d be there 24/7 — and he meant it. We trust him completely. He’s Andrew’s doctor for life.”
Thanks to his expertise and the family’s faith and perseverance, Ander is now thriving, spending his days doing what he loves most: playing outside and eating lots of strawberries!
