Hi Pete,
Sorry to hear your son Drew has been diagnosed with aplastic anemia.
You will find this forum to be of utmost help and support, I know I did four years ago when my then ten year old son was diagnosed with AA, went through ATG and then on to unrelated BMT.
Kids are much more resilient than we give them credit for and while the last few ATG treatments will continue to be tough, Drew will get through it.
HERE is a link to my son's experiences from diagnosis to cure which may provide you with a little more insight, bearing in mind no one patient's experience is exactly the same as another's.
Best wishes,
