We're home and all is well! Claire is still a bit sore and bruised from the surgery but overall acts pretty much like herself! She will go in tomorrow for blood work.
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.

You are all so brave. I would be a wreck if I had to deal with everything you have been through. A serious wreck. Icky business. I am glad things went well. Benson will probably grow up to be a doctor someday!
Give kisses to both kiddos for me. I send my love!!
I'm so happy things went well! Where did she get that curly hair? Is it from you? She's such a doll! Miss you guys.
