It's the prednisone. My son's WBCs went from 2.2 up to 7.2 on prednisone and when he tapered off they went back down to 2.2 again. You would almost never see a response so soon. My son had his ATG in early July last year and had his last blood transfusion in September, so 2.5 months later, which was actually considered really good. So don't worry about the ATG not working yet (impossible, I know!) There is still the same high chance that it will.
