We saw the hematologist yesterday. She didn't guarantee the horse was a total success but said my mother is headed in the right direction, and that she was hopeful. My mother would be a very slow responder. She lowered her cyclosporine amount, too, which is a good sign. It is possible for her to still have dips in her hemoglobin in the next few months or so until her blood stabilizes. So, more RBC transfusions are expected for the next 6-12 weeks or so. It's also important to note how long you go without transfusions. So far, my mother has gone over three weeks since her last one. The longest she ever went prior to this was 13 days last July.
We were also told that platelets are usually the last thing to rise.
Health and happiness to everyone.
