Welcome to Dianna's webpage.

It has been provided to keep friends and family updated on her life with Fanconi anemia (FA).

Dianna was diagnosed with FA in April 1998.

FA causes aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure), as well as many different types of cancers.

She had a few of the obvious signs of FA: missing both thumbs, deaf in her right ear, very small for her age, and had corrective surgery at birth on her intestines.

Dianna had a sibling donor bone marrow transplant at Medical City Dallas, TX.


Transplant date: October 1, 2008

We went to the lake for the weekend. It was PawPaw John's birthday on Sunday. So PawPaw John, Nana, MeMaw, Uncle Doug, Aunt T., Uncle Mark, Katie and our family all meet at Uncle Mark's lake house. We had a great time. The kids and Uncle Doug slept outside in tents on Friday night, but Saturday night everyone slept inside. It was very hot! The kids went swimming, tubing and sking.
Dianna tried to water ski for the first time! She made it up about half way then lost her ski. The only problem was she did not let go of the ski rope, so the boat was pulling her with her face in the water. She came up saying "See I told you I should have used ONE ski!"
(Uncle Doug had used one ski just before her, so she thought she should do the same.)
Dianna is NOT afraid of anything!

Last night we attended a Frisco Rough Rider Game. (semi pro baseball team) It was hot, but fun. They had many things for the kids. Dianna enjoyed this better than the Texas Rangers Games.
Granny & Pawpaw are coming to visit tonight. They are staying the weekend. Pawpaw is helping Daddy Bret and Nicolaus pour concret around the back patio.
