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

Yesterday- Dianna, Nicolaus and Mom went to the Texas State Fair.
There was a lot of traffic trying to get to the fair.
It took us over two hours, normally would have been about 30 to 45 minutes.
We had a great time anyway.
Nicolaus & Mom did a lot of walking (Dianna got to ride in her stroller).
We rode the giant Texas farris wheel and Nicolaus & Dianna went through a few fun houses.
Most importantly we ate a lot of junk! :-)
It was a fun trip!!
Dianna & Nicolaus were so wound up from junk food and excitement- it took quite a while to go to sleep.

We will be going to sleep early tonight!

Last night we attended the University of North Texas football game.
We were invited to attend with a group from Texas Scottish Rite Hospital.
The school had a barbeque dinner for us before the game.
Then we got to sit on the front row of the 45 yard line. Great seats!
And we had a wonderful time!!
