Dear Friends Welcome to another issue of Forever First. With autumn in the air, this issue explores the best ways to keep energy up for young students while fighting back against classroom bugs. New developments at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio mean even better access to care for our families. A new maternal-fetal medicine program will help mothers and babies get started on the right foot, and our young patients are already reaping the benefits of our recent transformation at the Hospital. For parents and children struggling with childhood epilepsy, our special piece on this topic will help relieve worries and empower children to enjoy a fully active life regardless of this disease's challenges. We hope you'll find the information in Forever First helpful to you and your children. We also hope you'll be encouraged by the patient story of 14-year-old Mason Miller, who, when no other facility could find a cause for his illness, received top-notch care at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio. Most importantly, we hope you and yours stay healthy this fall. Committed to doing everything for our children, Elias J.
