Dear Friends: I hope our winter 2015 issue of Forever First finds you and your family well. In this issue, we celebrate the holiday season with our community and families and offer guidance and information to help keep your children healthy and happy throughout the new year. Keep meals nutritious and fun this season with tips and a recipe from Chef Maria Palma. Also in this issue, discover the signs and precautions for concussion in your young athletes, and learn how to protect your little ones from cold and flu in the chilly months. As much as I hope you enjoy our tips and community updates, I'm sure you'll find inspiration in the story of 5-year- old Jagger Stone, whose triumphant struggle with cancer reminds us all what we have to be thankful for. All the best to you and yours from all of us at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio, and may the Christmas season and new year bring you good cheer and good health.
