Angry Platelets low post BMT for my son

My 10 yr old son was diagnosed with Severe AA over 5 years ago. Went thru 2 ATG treatments that only worked for a short time and had unrelated BMT in October 2015. Developed skin GVHD and CMV virus started to show up as well. Platelets came in first after transplant and then whites and red cells. Was treated for GVHD and now CMV . CMV is almost gone but at about day 60 post transplant red cells and platelets were being chewed up. After being switched off Cyclosporine and to Tacro the red cells are starting to slow but his platelets are getting destroyed at a very high rate now. He will get a transfusion and the next day platelet count already will be down to approx 5k-10k. Could use some advice from anyone who has experienced a similar outcome and what treatments may have corrected this? About at day 75 post transplant and a very frustrated parent right now ???? Please help .......
