Kim,
It may be that your father has progressed to AML, but his white cells may be elevated in response to some sort of infection. An infection won't always produce a fever, chills, etc. like a cold or flu but might still respond to antibiotics. Has he or have you asked the doctor how he plans to respond to this change?
Regards,
Ruth
