What to expect?

It's been 18 days since my 75y.o mom had aher ATG treatment. Her Cyclosporin levels were 1350, so they just took her off it to level things out. She is lethargic and can't even pick up het legs or move to a chair. She needs platelets every other day or else they drop below 8K and blood every day of hgb drops below 7.5. Her legs are swollen and her BP is high (around 178/80). It's day by day. She gets sores in her mouth and wants to give up. We need to getthrough this waiting period for the treatment to work. Please help.. What is normal and what else to expect? When does even minor improvements start ( on average) I have called the peer support network but have not received any return on my messages yet.
