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

Dianna went to heaven September 1, 2009

As you can see Dianna received a Platelet Transfusion and a Blood Transfusion on Monday afternoon...

Today, the doctors were worried about an issue with her liver, so they ordered an Ultrasound on her liver. (I have not heard any news yet)

Dianna had a good day today- Her mouth is much better and her stomach does not hurt as much. :-)

Dianna has started doing school work! :-)
