Laurie,
The first I want to say is it is too soon to worry. It usually takes at least a month, usually longer, to see any response from ATG. Having said that, if your dad's dr's don't know that, then they obviously have no experience what-so-ever with AA and I would highly encourage you to get him in to a dr who knows that they are talking about. The AA-MDS foundation should be able to get you a list of dr's in your area.

No use of his legs is worrisome I am sure, as are the headaches. Is he on steroids or was he for the ATG? When my daughter had ATG her steroids were stopped too soon (about 10 days post ATG) and she developed serum sickness from the ATG. It consisted of headaches and severe muscle aches, to the point that she wouldn't walk because it hurt too much. We had to carry her to the bathroom until physical therapy made her walk. It was not fun at all. They started her back on prednisone and she got better fairly quickly (within a week or two).

Good luck!
