pranute,

Is she taking the immunosuppressant cyclosporine? It may be called Sandimmune in India. It's a challenge for doctors to get the dosage just right, and to know how quickly or slowly to reduce the dosage over time. Sometimes tapering cyclosporine too quickly can cause blood counts to crash.

That happened to my wife. After trying to lower her dose and having bad counts, she had to have an increased dose, then try tapering again later. Figuring out the best does and the best schedule is as much an art as a science for doctors.

I don't know if this is related to the cause of your mothers lower numbers, but it's a possibility that you could ask the doctor about. I'm glad her doctor is confident that she's still doing OK overall in her recovery.
