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.

Saturday soccer

Benson loves soccer!




And on a little side note...today Benson was very excited to tell us about his PE class.  They had a 1/2 mile race this afternoon and Benson finished FIRST among all the boys in his class.  He was humbly-proud (if that's possible) about the whole thing with a shy little smile on his face while he told the story!

Congrts, Benson

He is a winner because he plays. The fact that he came in first is a bonus.

Good job, boy, keep up the competive spirit.
