+33 days post MUD transplant(10/10)- WBC and Hb low

+33 days: Arnav (My 2 year old Son) doing well and skin biopsy confirms grade-I GVHD. They given some medicine for the GVHD. Other parameter are perfectly ok. Today count is:
WBC: 2800
Platelet: 79000
Hb: 11.5
Doctor said they are little worried about low WBC count and interested to see Chimerism result, which will be available tomorrow.
Arnav got platelet engraftment very early,i.e on day 12 and neutrophil engraftment on day 17.Platelet is in increasing mode since then, but WBC is now decreasing.
Hb was also constant near about 9 for some time, but suddenly Hb also dropped to 7.8, and Arnav got blood transfusion on day +29.
When Hb become in range and why this up and down in WBC count.Arnav already got 2 blood transfusions post transplant.Why Chimerism test is so important for Doctor now. Pray God Help my child, how much more waiting for good count.
