As we reflect on 2014 at Driscoll Children’s
Hospital, it was truly a year of celebration and
a year of progress and commitment. Most of all,
it was another year for all of us associated with
the hospital to be able to work together toward
the goal of improving the health of all children.
The progress we’ve made during 2014 paints
a bright picture of quality and growth. With the 23rd annual Fiesta de los Niños upon
us, I’d like to share how Fiesta alone has raised more than $8 million to support patient
care and provide new equipment and services. What an accomplishment and what a

All Is Not
Just Skin Deep
By Debra Young Hatch
W
hen Emily Becker, MD, left Corpus Christi as
a teenager bound for college, she had no idea
that life — as it often has a way of doing — would one
day bring her, along with her medical skills and her
passion for teaching and children full circle, back to her
hometown; but it has.
Today this young, dedicated physician, who grew up
the oldest of five siblings, and the only girl, finds herself
right back where she grew up. But now instead of being a
kid herself in Corpus Christi, she is a doctor working and
walking the halls of Driscoll Children’s Hospital as she
cares for and gives back to children throughout South
Texas.
“I knew,” recalls Dr. Becker, “that I wanted to be a
physician at an early age. I guess it was in middle school
that I figured out I wanted to be a doctor. My father was
a hospital administrator and I would often go up to the
office with him which gave me the opportunity to get to
know some of the doctors. So,” she smiles, “I was exposed
to medicine at an early age, and I thought, ‘this is cool.’
On the family side, I was really a second mother to all
my brothers. I love kids and I love to interact with them.
And, essentially that’s what I do all day; I just combined
medicine with being a teacher.
“When I went to medical school,” she recalls, “I
knew I wanted to be a pediatrician. But when I did my
pediatric residency, I kept trying to find an area that fit
for me. I wanted something non-traditional. When I did
my dermatology rotation I found out that I loved it, and
could interact with all specialties, including cardiology,
nephrology, infectious disease, neurology, surgery and
radiology.”
As the first pediatric dermatologist at Driscoll
Children’s Hospital and only one of two in South Texas,
Dr. Becker has placed Driscoll in a specialized group
of pediatric dermatology programs of which there are
only a handfull in the United States. In Texas they can

be found in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and now, Corpus
Christi. That is certainly significant for the children in South Texas
as the field of pediatric dermatology is being increasingly recognized
as a critical care element in pediatric medicine. The reason it is
becoming more and more important is because of the understanding
and the increasing attention being paid to the fact that its color, pallor,
condition and its markers are often clear indicators of what is actually
going on underneath the skin, not only at the location of a particular
skin marker, but in other parts of the body as well.
“People often think of dermatology as an area of medicine that
simply deals with acne and warts, but,” Dr. Becker smiles, “it is so
much more. What we do can and does involve almost every discipline
and it can significantly change the course of care and ultimately the
outcomes for many of these children.
“Everyone has skin,” explains Dr. Becker, “and your skin is such
an indicator of what is happening with your body. For example, a
birthmark can be an indicator of much greater issues like heart
problems. That was actually the case recently with a 15-month-old
patient.
“When I saw her, because of the particular birthmark she had, I
shared with the mom that her daughter might start having breathing
problems and seizures. I had the opportunity to educate the mom.
And in fact, shortly after she saw me, the baby had a seizure. The mom
took her to the Emergency Room and because we had the chance to
see the little girl, and educate the mother, her mom knew what to tell
the ER doctor, so they in turn knew exactly where to begin with her
treatment.”
There is no doubt about the need and demand for the expertise and
skill Dr. Becker brings to Driscoll and South Texas. In a single day, Dr.
Becker and her five staff members often see as many as 40 children in
the dermatology clinic. Plus, since the program began in November
2013, 1,454 children have been served in her practice at Driscoll.
Obviously, the pace is certainly quick in Dr. Becker’s hallway, but
she is never in a hurry with her patients. From the tiniest of babies to
teenagers, she is there, explaining, teaching and sharing her skills as
she provides the care that they need.
“We are often here in the evening, explains Kathy Sanchez, RN,
nurse supervisor, and we don’t mind one bit. As long as the kids are
here,” she shrugs, “Dr. Becker is here and we are right here with her.”
Another important element in adding pediatric dermatology
services at Driscoll for children is the opportunity for continuum of
care. Now, regardless of whether it is for the most straight-forward of
cases or the most complex, care and treatment can be received and
monitored right here.
“I remember,” smiles Dr. Becker, “when we were little my brother
who had a very large port wine stain or birthmark on his face needed
treatment, and it was not available here. Port wine stains, only get
bigger and darker with age unless they are treated, and the younger
the treatment begins for a child the better. My parents did their
research and discovered treatment was available in Houston. My
brother was the first patient to receive laser treatments. But for him
to get those laser treatments, we all had to go to Houston once a
month. I didn’t want children in Corpus Christi to have to do that, so”
she shrugs, “I came to the kids.”
Before Dr. Becker came to Driscoll, it was even challenging to
treat children for severe acne, because the medications are so strong
patients need to be monitored very carefully and that is difficult to
do long distance. But that is no longer the case. Everything from
diagnosis to treatment and surgical intervention can now be done
at Driscoll and the need for Dr. Becker’s services and the significant
benefits for the children in all departments are definitely beginning
show.
“Today alone,” Dr. Becker explains, “I interacted with six different
specialties for children who have come in for appointments. That
means we have a greater opportunity as a team of physicians and
nurses and healthcare providers to create even better pathways for
better outcomes for these children. I want to give back. I want to be
the specialist and the teacher. I want to be a resource for these kids,”
she smiles easily, “the one that wasn’t available in Corpus Christi
when I was growing up.”

MIRACLE STORY
Jackson Smith’s Life:
It Comes With A Breath of Fresh Air
N
ineteen weeks into her pregnancy, Cara Smith was feeling great; everything was looking good
and all was well with the Smith family. Plus, it was the day Cara and Byron Smith and their twoyear-old daughter, Emily, were going to find out if the new baby on the way was a boy or a girl. The
trio had even planned a breakfast celebration. “We were so excited,” recalls Cara, “we couldn’t wait
to find out. We arrived at the doctor’s office and they performed the sonogram. We found out it was
a boy. But once the sonogram was completed, the technician left and asked us to wait for a few
minutes. When the technician returned, something had changed. We couldn’t quite get a read on it,
but something was different. We were ready to go, but instead we were told that we needed to go up

Jackson Smith in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
When Jackson Smith arrived at Driscoll, it was time for the next
stage. That meant getting him stable and prepared for the coming
surgery.
“Fifteen years ago,” explains Dr. DeLeon, “the protocol was to
perform the necessary surgery to push the organs down and repair
the diaphragm the first day. Nationally, 80 percent of the babies with
that protocol did not make it. But today we wait 3 to 5 days, stabilize
the baby, and get everything in place, then we do surgery. That means
the babies are so much healthier when they go into surgery, and the
result is we have much better survival rates and outcomes.”
“I couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital to go and see Jackson,”
explains Cara. “Jackson was born on Tuesday and on Thursday, they
said I could go, and I was out of there. I wanted to see my baby.
“When I first saw Jackson,” recalls Cara, “I was so glad I had been
prepared, because we couldn’t hold him. We could touch him, but only
very little, because they didn’t want him to have too much stimulation,
and he had wires and ten different pumps and monitors. It was,” she
says soberly, as that vision returns, “completely overwhelming, but
everyone was so kind and patient. The nurse explained everything.
She picked up every wire and went through the 10 different pumps,
every monitor and explained what they did and what each one was
doing for him.”
Jackson spent five days in the Driscoll NICU, as his body prepared
for surgery. When he was 6-days-old, Jackson Smith was stable, and
set for surgery. J. Mark Morales, MD, pediatric cardiac surgeon was
scheduled to perform the procedure that would push the organs
down out of Jackson’s chest cavity below the diaphragm and close
the hernia opening with a mesh material to keep the organs in place.
“The surgery itself took about an hour-and-a-half,” explains
Byron, “and Dr. Morales who said he had performed about 150 of
these surgeries told us that Jackson’s was one of the largest left side
diaphragmatic hernias he had ever seen. It went well, and the surgery
was successful.”
But as Dr. DeLeon had told Cara and Byron, after surgery Jackson
became sicker once again, as surgery takes a toll. Jackson went back
on the oscillator, and the nitric oxide as his body fought to find its
balance.

“Things did begin to change for the
better but,” Cara says looking over at
Byron and Jackson, as she tries to hold her
emotions in check and reaches for a tissue
once again, “the whole time it was one big
step forward and two big steps back. But,”
she smiles, “at twelve days, Jackson was
taken off the ventilator. That was definitely
a big step. And at 18 days, we got to hold
him for the first time. I can’t even tell you
what that meant, how that felt.
“Byron and I were at the Driscoll
NICU day and night. The two of us were
definitely like ships passing in the night.
It was so hard to leave your newly- born, very sick baby at night, your
baby whom you had never even held. Sometimes,” she recalls, “when
I couldn’t sleep I would call the NICU at 3 a.m. to ask how Jackson was
doing. They were so patient, and they knew everything about him,
and were right there with us every step of the way.”
Byron, who had been quietly listening and playing with Jackson,
spoke up recalling those not-so-long-ago days, “You know much of
the experience seems like a blur now, but, from beginning to end the
nurses and doctors were so wonderful. When we arrived at the NICU,”
he shares easily, “we were strangers with everyone there, and by the
time we left they were family.”
Fortunately for the Smith family, the day they could take their
baby home came much sooner than they thought. It happened on
day 48.
“I’ll never forget,” says Cara, “we walked into the NICU at Driscoll
on a Monday morning and they said, ‘Jackson is going home today,
would you like to take him now?’ I was in a mild panic,” admits, Cara.
“It was definitely a surprise. After all this time, even though that’s
what we had been waiting and hoping for, I wasn’t prepared. I really
couldn’t believe it. So I asked them if we could have an hour. I really
didn’t think he would get to come home until Easter.”
But on April 7, Jackson Smith, now weighing 7 pounds and 3
ounces got to go home. He had survived. And the best news of all is
that his prognosis looked bright.
“Jackson’s long-term prognosis is he should have a normal life,
and be able to do just about anything he wants except,” smiles Dr.
DeLeon, “maybe play football. It is because of the technology we
have today, and the highly-skilled team we are so fortunate to have
at Driscoll that babies like Jackson are able to survive a condition like
he had, and be able to grow up and live their lives. And, that is why
we are all here and we do what we do. For all of us, our team, these
babies are our mission and,” he shrugs and says simply, “we wouldn’t
have it any other way.”

found on their ranch, they are actually kids who live all over South
Texas — kids who the couple have been supporting at annual
livestock shows and auctions for more years than they can count.
But for at least the past three years, Leroy and Raye Ann
have been committed to helping kids through Driscoll’s
Cattlemen’s Round Ups and Auctions. In fact, they have been
so dedicated to their mission that since 2011, they have only
missed two of the 21 Driscoll Round Ups held throughout
South Texas. And the ones they couldn’t make in person,
they decided that they would make up for by being even
more generous with their financial support.
“We love the kids and we love auctions, “shrugs Leroy. “It
is as simple,” he smiles, “and as complicated as that. “And,”
he says easily, “you can’t take it with you, so you best share it
where it can do the most good. We think that means giving it
to the kids at Driscoll.”
For Leroy and Raye Ann, native South Texans who
recently retired from the oil industry and Wilson County
Appraisal District, respectively, retirement definitely has not
meant slowing down; for these two it’s simply been a change
in direction.
“I worked in the oil industry as a pipeline inspector and a
surveyor — seven days-a-week — for 42 years, and I decided
at 62,” says Leroy, “it was time to move on. So now that we’ve
retired, “ he and Raye Ann smile, “we wake up at about 6 a.m.
and work from dawn until dusk at the ranch, and you know,
we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Leroy does all the work himself, and I help him,” explains
Raye Ann. “He does everything from feeding and vaccinating
the cows, to mowing and clearing. This is our place and
we really love the land and the cattle, and we like doing
everything ourselves.”
Her point is definitely well taken, as at that very moment
Leroy, who has gotten up and gone inside the cow pen, is
standing out in the middle of his herd of heifers with a feed
sack under his arm calling “his babies” in for a mid-afternoon
snack.
“You know,” Raye Ann says smiling, “those cows are like
his babies. I remember one day when we arrived at the ranch,
they had gotten out of the pen and Leroy said he was going
to go out and find them. When I looked out a little bit later,
there he was kind of like the Pied Piper, walking down the
road with a sack of feed dribbling out food behind him and
those cows just followed right behind him all the way back to
the pen. It was a definitely a sight to see.”
14
Certainly, there is no doubt that these two South Texas
natives have a passion for life, hard work, ranching and kids.
They have been going to auctions and livestock shows in South
Texas for years, and supporting and sponsoring kids and their
livestock entries.
“My family has lived here for 100 years,” explains Leroy. “We
are Texans through and through, and we have a great time
going to auctions and livestock shows. We have supported kids,
especially in the San Antonio Live Stock Show for a long time.
Then our friend,” he smiles, “Gerald Eckel, who has chaired the
Driscoll Cattleman’s Round Ups for years, came by to see us one
day and asked us if we would consider supporting the Driscoll
Roundups that are held in Beeville, Three Rivers, Hallettsville,
Rio Grande City, Alice, Cuero and Edinburg. After he left, Raye
Ann and I talked about it and we changed our thinking a bit.”
“We had been supporting healthy kids in the livestock shows
in Texas for years,” explains Raye Ann, “kids who were on their
way in life. But after talking to Gerald, we decided what we
15
would like to do was support kids who might not be so healthy,
so that they might have a chance to grow up and one day
actually get to participate in Driscoll’s Cattlemen’s Roundups.
And that’s what we’ve done.
“You don’t really understand how much need there is and
what your dollars can do,” says Raye Ann, “until someone like
Gerald explains it to you. What he did was share with us in a
way that helped us understand the impact giving can have for
these kids, for their lives. He was planting seeds for Driscoll.
That’s what it really takes, one person sharing with another in
person — one person to tell the Driscoll story, to spread the word.”
“And now, that’s what we are doing,” smiles Leroy. “We’ve
talked to my brother, my sister and my cousin, and,” he nods
knowingly as he leans down and pets J Bar and Blackjack once
again, “now they are giving to the Roundups and to the kids at
Driscoll, and,” he says simply, “that’s really what it’s all about.”

Philanthropy
An Overview of Giving Options
Gifts That Generate Income For You
Each year it is the generous spirit of friends that makes our work
possible.This generosity is evident in countless ways, including gifts
of financial support. Our tax laws not only encourage the support
of charitable organizations; the tax code provides benefits that
make it possible for the philanthropic spirit to be expressed through
many forms of giving. And while giving may seem a straightforward
discussion, there are many ways that friends choose to make a gift.
Careful planning will ensure that your objectives are met.
The benefits of planning compound when you utilize one of a
number of strategies that generate income as well as provide a
number of other attractive benefits.
The Gift Annuity is a great example of how a gift generates
income for the donor.This is actually a contract between a donor and
a charity that is part gift and part annuity. In addition to the annuity
payment, the donor receives a charitable income tax deduction and
a portion of each annuity payment may be tax-free.
The Deferred Payment Gift Annuity, in which annuity
payments are delayed for a number of years, offers rates that make
it an attractive supplement to retirement income.
Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is perhaps the most
versatile charitable giving tool. With the CRT it is possible to bypass
capital gains tax on the sale of highly appreciated assets, generate
an increase in income, receive an attractive charitable income
tax deduction, and fulfill your philanthropic objectives. The CRT
is a legal trust that can be constructed to produce a predictable
annuity payment each year or take advantage of investment growth
opportunities with income payments based on a growing trust
principal.
Current Gifts
The most common way to make an immediate gift is by writing a
check.This type of cash gift provides immediate liquidity for charity
and generates a charitable income tax deduction for the donor in
the year of the gift.
Giving stocks or bonds may provide greater tax benefits. If you
have owned securities for more than one year and the fair market
value has increased since you purchased them, you can avoid capital
gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction equal to the
fair market value.
A gift of real estate that has been held for more than a year
also has the advantage of providing you with a charitable deduction
based on the current fair market value, as well as bypassing capital
gains tax on the appreciation.
Planned Gifts
Sometimes called deferred gifts, the term planned gifts refers to
specific strategies that (in most cases) benefit charity at some point
in the future while offering immediate benefits to the donor.
The gift of a paid-up life insurance policy is a good example.
By designating a qualified charity as owner and beneficiary of such
a policy, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction that, in
most cases, is equal to your cost basis in the policy.
Charitable Bequests
Next to writing a check, perhaps the best known vehicle for
philanthropy is the bequest. A bequest makes it possible for you to
make your wishes known today without relinquishing needed assets
during your lifetime. Bequests can transfer a specific asset. You can
also give a percent of the estate after costs and taxes. Another good
idea is to transfer property to a testamentary trust.
If you would like more information on the strategies discussed here
or any other planning options, we invite you to call
Driscoll Children’s Hospital Development Department, at ( 361 ) 694 – 6405.
