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 + 238

Thank you for all the prayers!!!
Dianna is doing a little better.
Today the doctors are surprised at how much better her blood pressure is doing.
(Not having all the drastic ups and downs)
The blood pressure seems to be staying much more stable today. :-)
And the x-ray of her lungs looks better. :-)
Please keep the prayers coming!

Dear Nanette,
continuing to pray for little Dianna and for you. Continuing to pray the promise of Psalm 18 over you guys as a family. I shared it with you in your last update before this. If you didn't get to see it, take a look because I felt God just wanted me to share.
Love you heaps, be encouraged.
Love Charisse
