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

Day + 14

Dianna's Labs-
White blood count: 3.8, Red blood count: 3.74, HGB: 11.2, Platelets: 9, ABS Neut. #: 3.344

Today- when the Dr. Lenarsky came in he said that her White blood count is up to where Nurses & Visitors do not have to wear masks in her room now. YEA!
Also, the Sonogram on her liver yesterday did not show any signs of damage. YEA! YEA!
He feels that the negative test results from the liver are due to all the medications.
He has reduced some medications and will closely watch the next few tests.

The Kidney Specialist also was here today- He is still closely monitoring her kidneys.
He feels things are going OK, but she is still needing to use the rest room about every hour- even during the night :-(

Dianna seems to feel much better today!
She has not complained about her stomach hurting. :-)

That is wonderful that they don't need to wear masks anymore! Yes! Praise the Lord her white cells are going up like they are supposed to.
I am sorry she has to use the bathroom every hour during the night. Will pray that her kidneys settle down.
That is great news about Dianna's liver!
Will be thinking and praying for you both.
Love Charisse

Yea! I love seeing those blood count numbers going up. I am also glad your stomachache is going away. Now let's get the kidneys as happy as the liver! Love your pink Angel cap, and thanks for sharing your pictures. I am thinking that you are probably getting tired of that hospital. I would be too, but I am also thinking that I am so grateful for that wonderful hospital where they take care of sweet kids like you. They have terrific doctors and nurses and I'll bet you are a favorite!! Remember Jesus loves you. Tell Momma hello(Jesus loves her too!). I am still thinking and praying for you.
Love, Donetta

Hi Dianna
This is John Linden and I just wanted to say "HI"
It was nice to read that your nurses no longer need to wear masks.
I cannot tell, it that a John Deere logo on you hat?
Well good luck and get better real soon I need some one to take me to a Rodeo. Who knows, the way I saw you ride last time you won your ribbon, you may just decide to try riding a bucking bronco.
