Matthew,
I'm sorry to hear of your mother's fall. I hope her recovery goes well.
If her higher HGB was from a single blood test, it may represent only the test-to-test variations that are common. You can only tell a trend from a series of blood tests.
But it's true that ATG can kick in months after the treatment. The signs of successful ATG treatment usually start after about 3 months, but it sometimes takes longer, which is why doctors may wait 6 months to decide if it worked. And when ATG is successful it can take up to 9 months to reach its full effects.
Good luck.
