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

Blood work for 10/16/08-

White blood cells: 4.1, Red blood cells: 3.36, HGB: 10.2, Platelets: 82, ABS Neut #: 3.690



**Dianna's White blood count is in the "normal range"!**

YEA!!!

Her doctors are very pleased with this.

She did have a Platelet Transfusion yesterday- that is why her platelets seem so good.



Today Dr. Lenarsky removed her TPN (IV Food & Insulin).

So now we must watch what & how much she eats.

Dianna's sugar levels are still very high due to the medications she is taking-

so she had to begin the finger pokes and Insulin Shots again. :-(

Great pictures! It is good to see Dianna up and about! Nanette, is that you in the photo?? You did say it was mum and Dianna! If that is you, you look completely different to what I imagined! Ha! But beautiful....just different. I didn't imagine anything bad ......I just have never really known what you looked like! That is funny. You are lovely.
Well still praying for you both.
