Dianna's Journey w/ Fanconi Anemia: Wonder Girl

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 + 242

The doctors and nurses are calling Dianna-- Wonder Girl/Super Girl.
She is doing so much better today. :-)
Dianna is off the oscillator and back on the regular ventilator.
She is still receiving dialysis every other day and fluid pull on the opposite days.
Her blood pressure is much better-- still on a little blood pressure medication.
All Dianna's labs are good except for something in her vent tube...
the doctors are trying some different medications to try to get rid of the bacteria.
This morning Dianna had to have a blood clot removed from her leg...
but the surgeon said that it looked OK and did not think it had an infection.
**Keep the prayers coming...
I know that is WHY Dianna is still here with us!
THANK YOU!!!
