Hi Diane,
That is wonderful, and I am so glad to hear she is doing well. That gives us hope. Jessica went from moderate AA to severe pretty fast. We went ahead with the ATG/Cyclosporine treatments. She did pretty well through the treatment itself, but the first couple of weeks after were pretty rough on her. Now we're dealing with the side effects of the Cyclosporine, and that's not much fun either! Her counts showed improvement each week the first couple of weeks after treatment, but now they are dropping again. She's doing very well though through all of it. We've been very lucky, she hasn't been sick & has only had to have 3 blood transfusions since March, when we found out. It is very encouraging to hear about your daughter and we wish her the VERY best!! (I don't think hospitals see a lot of AA, period!!)
Thank-you for your response.
Trish
