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.

Update from our trip to Cincinnati...

The entire family went to Cincinnati on this trip (Dianna, Daddy Bret, Mom, Ryan, Nicolaus, Courtney and Kaelynn).
It was some good family time, but a lot of driving.

We left Saturday, July 7th from Granny and PawPaw's house in Ryan, OK. and drove to Springfield, MO. While in Springfield, we attended a Minor League Baseball Game.

Sunday, July 8th we drove to St. Louis, MO. There we went up in the Arch and looked around the museum in the bottom.

We made several stops along the way.

Tuesday, July 10th we drove to Dayton, OH and went to see where the Wright Brothers have a museum and the Air Force Museum.

Wednesday, July 11th Dianna had three different appointments. (one right after the other)

**The doctor suggested that we tour the transplant center on our next visit in three months! :-( **
(Please keep Dianna in your prayers!)

After Dianna's appointments we went to the Cincinnati Zoo, then we drove to Kentucky to visit the Newport Aquarium.

Thursday, July 12th we drove to Nashville, TN. We had dinner with Bret's cousin.

Friday, July 13th we drove to Memphis, TN and took the tour of Graceland. (Mom's favorite part!)
Next, we drove to Little Rock, AR and the kids swam and had pizza at the hotel pool.

Saturday, July 14th we drove back to Ryan, OK to pickup the puppies.

Last week was very busy...
Dianna, Courtney and Kaelynn attended "Kidz Praize Dayz" at our church.
It is a week of learning songs in the mornings, then the afternoons doing fun activities (like swimming, skating, putt putt and Chuck E Cheese).
Then on Friday night the kids put on their show!
Nicolaus and Ryan were Music Police (Leaders) this year.
The 7th thru 12th grades help lead the 1st thru 6th grades.
They had a great week! :-)

Today, we are getting ready to leave for Cincinnati Children's.
Dianna has a check up next week.
We plan on going to Ryan, OK for a couple of days then start the long drive on Saturday AM.
Pray for a safe trip and that Dianna has a good report.
Thanks,
Nanette
