Does anybody have info on MAA and what to look for in SAA?

I am so sorry to hear about your grandson. Thank you for sharing your story, there seems to be a lot of support on this forum, and I too am looking for info, answers and support. My 7yo son was just diagnosed on 4/13/11 with MAA and his labs aren't getting better. He also has been taken off his iron supplement because it just isn't getting into his marrow. This has been a struggle because he seems to be getting more tired everyday. He also has ADHD which seems to only complicate this in the effect that he has a hard time focusing and concentrating so it leads him to get more frusterated which his fatigue gets overwhelming for him. I just posted in the "Tell your story" thread and I was wondering if anyone had any info about what the signs are of MAA turning to SAA. I haven't been given much information this. Is it labs? If so does anyone have reference ranges? I am hoping when my son goes to U of M, that I will be given a little more insight.
Thank you
