The key at this point is to be sure that your dad avoids buffets and undercooked or unclean foods, wash hands a little more, etc. as is prescribed for lower white counts. I found that prednisone usually increased wbc, bur during tapering you can see unusual drops. Transplant is part art, part science, so expect adjustments.
its just hard not to imagine the worst scenarios I have to ask what were the signs before you knew you were relapsing?
