Biker2,

As you learned, Revlimid, like Vidaza, is likely to reduce counts before they go higher. That's the nature of this treatment, but it's still recommended because of its rate of success, especially if other options have failed or been ruled out. Success isn't guaranteed, but it will help if your spouse is closely monitored and supportive care, such as transfusions, are used as necessary. I'm concerned that a transfusion didn't help; usually they are quick temporary boosts to counts.
