Happy 10 month birthday, Mabel Sue!
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.

What a cute baby face. She looks a lot like her older sister. I wonder if she will have the imagination as her older sister or if she will just be her own beautiful self.
Time will tell.
