Hi Paula,
My son has AA and was dx at the age of 3 years. He is now 13 year old. My son Gage has had two rounds of ATG, one horse and one rabbit. His counts are currently:
HGB - 7.2
WBC- 2.3
RBC- 2.06
PLT - 26
These are my son's normal counts while living with AA. Sometimes they go up and sometimes they go down. He just finished a round of prednisone to help raise his platelets. The out come was not as we had hoped.
Your husbands counts may go up and down sometimes. We were told that sometimes it takes a whole year to see all the benefits from having a ATG treatment.
Be patient and ask lot of questions. It's the "not knowing" that is scary. If your well informed it give you a piece of mind and impowers you.
I wish the best for you and your husband. Keep us posted.
