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 8

Today, began about the same...

Dianna is still on medication to help control her high blood pressure & high sugar.
Also, the doctors believe that the sores in her mouth are also in her stomach.

(The reason she has been complaining of stomach pains for the past week.)
The pain medication seems to help with this most of the time.

TODAY-
Dianna wanted to shave off the rest of her hair.
It has been coming out and was beginning to really bother her.

SO...

The Guys deceided to join Dianna in shaving their heads, as a show of support!
It was great!!!
Today was the first day Dianna has laughed in two weeks! :-)
Everyone had a GREAT TIME!
They had a pool to determine who had the best looking head and Dianna was the judge.
She picked Ryan as the winner. :-)

Thanks to the guys for making Dianna laugh!!!!!!
