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.

update

For better or worse, we're back home. I've dilated from a 2 to a 4...and I'm definitely in labor with contractions every 2 to 8 minutes, but they sent us home, not knowing how many hours it could be before the real 'fun' begins. We expect to be back to the hospital tonight or tomorrow...we'll just see when.
