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 + 172

Dianna is BACK in the hospital. :-(
Medical City Dallas-- Room # 610
She was admitted on Friday afternoon...
(March 20th- Day + 170)
Friday- Dianna was running a fever of 102.
The doctors ordered many tests to try to find the cause of the fever.
Today, Sunday- the doctor came in and said Dianna would need to have her Port removed...
they found that she has a yeast infection in her port. :-(
(This is something that can happen due to the immune suppression drugs that Dianna is having to take due to the transplant.)
*PLEASE PRAY that the surgery goes smoothly tomorrow. THANK YOU!

Gosh, I am so sorry. Just when you thought hospital stays were behind you. I hope they get things cleared up soon and Dianna gets to go home again soon.
