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 + 105 (Total days in hospital= 114)

Dianna with her Hannah Montana Sleep Mask :-)
Dianna began to eat again on Saturday! :-)
I DO NOT want to have a feeding tube for her!
She is trying to eat at least two or three bites at each meal.
I am hoping that she will try to begin her oral medications again on Friday(???).
If she can continue to eat (and keep it down) and take her medications by mouth--
We MIGHT get to go home next week!!!!!!! :-)
**PLEASE pray that all goes well for Dianna...THANKS!**

Hey Dianna! I know you don't remember me, but I'm Mrs. Donna's daughter. (Donna Reichenberger) I've been keeping up with the updates and hearing a little from my mom and I'm sooooo glad to hear you've eaten a little bit!! We all hope and pray you continue to make progress and eat a little more so you can go home!

By the way, that Hannah Montana sleep mask is awesome!
