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 + 206

The swelling is gone, but now Dianna's skin looks like a snake skin that is about to shed.
The PD did not work last night-- the doctors believe that she got too dry being on both dialysis.
BUT they have started the PD again to night...
PLEASE PRAY that it will work for Dianna!

Dianna's school dedicated their Locks of Love to Dianna this year--

Oh my love. We are praying that the PD will work for Dianna and that she will recover. This must be so frightening for you. Praying, we are praying.
Love Charisse

We are praying for you Dianna. Your friends at Lakeland were so sweet and I loved watching the video. We pray that the PD works quickly for you. Your 5th grade Bible Study class is missing your smile on Sundays! Love Tina and Brannen Reed

Dianna- I was able to help with Locks of Love at Lakeland last week and it was fun to watch all those girls, their moms, aunts, and even one grown man get his hair cut in your honor. A girl in my class cut off 15 inches!! The lady that cut her hair did a great job and I would love for you to be able to see it. Praying for you and missing you at Lakeland!
