How soon for ATG to work?

My mom had ATG the last week of February. This morning she went for her routine blood work and all her counts are down accept her Platelets, they have gone up to 53 from 9 on Monday. She did have a Platelets transfusion yesterday but her counts have never gone up this high before. usually with a transfusion it would bring her Platelets up to 18-20 for about 4 days. Could the ATG being working already this soon? She is also on Cyclosporine and steroids. Her doctor actually put her Cyclosporine up to 400mg a day on Monday which I thought was strange because she was only home about a week. Is this standard? She is 117lbs. Thanks in advance!!!

WBC 2.6
Neutrophils 1.1
Hemoglobin 82
Platelets 53
