Jessica had ATG/Cyclosporine treatment early in April. Platelets are up to 80,(from as low as 6,high 10 in April) as of last week, but no real increase in the other counts(WBC 2.7/RBC 2.8/Hemo 9 w/blood transfusions about once each month). She is scheduled for bone marrow testing again in the morning, so hopefully we'll know what, if anything, is going on in there. Her Dr. said that it can take up to 6 months or longer to see real improvements. Depending on what we find out tomorrow, I guess she'll decide if she'll have to have another round of ATG. Her plan is to keep Jessica on Cyclosporine for a total of 1 year.
