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.

Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 Video

School started.  We had two birthdays.  One baptism.  A trip to Mayo Clinic.  Soccer three times a week.  And happy, busy hearts!

Here's a link to a video I created to promote awareness for the Oxalosis and Hyperoxaluria Foundation.  Enjoy watching, sharing, and becoming aware!
