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

Dianna had another hearing test on Monday.
The results show that her hearing is getting worse.
The doctor feels we should look into surgery and/or hearing aids.
This will have to wait till after her bone marrow transplant.
I hate that she has something else not in her favor and looking at another possible surgery.
Please keep Dianna in your prayers!
