With a 250K platelet count, you should not be having petechiae. Did you mean 25K?

WBC can fluctuate and you really need to look at the breakdown of the white blood count. It's a differential count. You want to track the lymphs and absolute neutrophil counts (ANC), which sometimes called granulocytes.
