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.

Wow. She is great at that. It is amazing how well they learn such intricate things at such young ages.
Wow! If I ever need to stay at the hospital I'm going to ask Claire to come be my nurse. She is amazing!
Wow, is right! She is going to be the first 3 year old nurse. What a sweetheart.
