Hi curlygirl,
I've heard from Dr. Young that mild red cell dysplasia can be seen with Aplastic Anemia. There are many articles that will mention this as well. So I wouldn't be concerned about abnormal RBC shapes in the blood, especially if he is transfusion dependent. If the WBC's or platelets also look abnormal, that may be more of a concern.
