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.

funnies

Two funnies:

* We went to a musical fireside last night.  During the prayer on our dinner before Claire said, "please bless that we can have a good time at the fire hydrant tonight."  She was later shocked to hear that the fireside was going to be at the church and NOT at the fire station!!  

* I made a chocolate protein/berry/spinach smoothie this afternoon.  It was delicious!  But the laughs we got from seeing Mabel look like THIS was even better than the yumminess in our tummies!
