Question Wondering what happens to blood cells normal values

Hello!


I've been out for some time.

This has been a time of hope for us and now some strange feelings.
Mu husband never tells what he is feeling/thinking except he feel tired and wants to return to a normal life. But I can feel and see that he is depressive. In this Christmas time is even more accentuate.
For 2 months his bloog values has been the same (some tiny differences between one analysis and other): Hb around 12.2; WBC 3.3; Platelets - 153.
I was expecting that values would go on rainsing but it's not happening.
To tell the truth, I do all I can so my husband won't sense my worry but I am; I am worried that it's recovery will stop and even come downward.

He is going to Haematology consultation once a month.

Doctors stay calm.
Last week doctor said: "You're stable".

His treatment with ATG was 6 months ago.
But I wonder and would like to ask: stable means that blood values will stay low, borderline? AA patiens don't have normal blood cells counts?

I look forward to your answers and your experiences.

Thank you very much and I hope you're having a very good Christmas time.
