Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She was on dialysis since she was 3 months old and for much of that time, did dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She receive a much needed kidney / liver transplant on December 18, 2009. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants.

The first picture is so precious! You can tell how much Claire adores Benson. Such sweet kids.
Pictures are worth 1000 words. You have not written one word yet what I see in these pictures are two “normal”, “healthy”, fun loving children that love each other very much. Never in a million years would I have guess what your lives were like just a few short months ago. I know it’s not over yet but to be able to enjoy moments like this are priceless.
SO FUN! It looks like they loved bowling & I love your darling easter project, too!
PS... Benson looks SO GROWN UP with his new haircut!! ;D
