We are being cautiously optimistic as my mother's hemoglobin jumped to 10.5 from 8.6 in a week without any RBC transfusions. This has never happened before since ATG 6 months ago.
Platelets are still low (usually between 11-16), and her neutrophils are not too bad, holding steady between 800-1100.
We are keeping our fingers crossed that the horse-ATG may finally be kicking in. Her hematologist told us a long time ago that rises in hemoglobin without RBC transfusions is the biggest sign that aplastic anemia is going away. Platelets usually (not always) rise last, weeks or months later. She is now only moderately or mildly neutropenic.
Good health and happiness to everyone.
