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

Cincinnati Children's Hospital called today.
Dianna was accepted to the Pilot Study for Enbrel.
I just pray that it works.
Her platlet counts are dropping and it is scary to think about our alternative if the Enbrel does not work.
Please keep us in your prayers as we work out finances to get Dianna & I back and forth from Dallas to Cincinnati.
We must go to start the medication (soon), then return every three months for check-ups.
Also pray that the study works as the researchers plan.
Finally, pray that Dianna understands why she is getting so many shots and blood draws. (That we are only trying to HELP her, not hurt her.)
