So sorry to hear about your son! My 17 year old was diagnosed with AA in Sept 2010. Received ATG in oct 2010 and started cyclosporine at the same time. Continues to take cyclosporine 300-350 twice daily depending on his cyclosporine level and kidney function. His counts have been improving every week without transfusions. Last platelet transfusion Oct 15 and blood Oct 29. We live in southern Illinois and go to St Louis Children's Hospital. The drs there are GREAT!! His doctor is very informative and answers all questions. Do you know how your child aquired AA? I always wonder how this has happened to my son, he has always been a perfectly healthy kid. My other question about your child is are any of their counts rising? I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
