wait and then wait some more

After his 2nd transfussion his RBC was 7.3. When we went in 5 days later his RBC had gone up to 7.8. I thought this was great news but am not sure if it really means anything profound. The Dr has said that we are now in waiting mode, where we watch and see what his body does on it's own. To wait makes me nervous but I suppose it makes sense. We have been reading quite a bit on the BMT and it's success rate compared to other treatments and our next question is if there is a sibling match is it better to really consider the BMT (even before doing other treatements) since it's success rate is greater. I have read some names of Drs on the forums and am wondering if there is a Dr of choice or a desirable hospital that seems to be on the forefront of treatment? I will talk to our Dr about his increase in talking, it's really a positive side effect for us. Thank you!
