I agree with everyone else. The best thing that you can do for your husband is to get him home and get a second opinion from someone with experience in the treatment of AA. Do not let him get another round of ATG without first consulting with an expert in this disease!
Why is he being kept in the hospital so long? What are his counts (HGB, ANC, and Platelets)?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry - I didn't see your previous update before posting mine. ATG is hard on the kidneys and usually takes more than 3 months to work (especially if your husband is suffering from repeated infections). I still stand by my comments that he needs a second opinion before repeating the treatment.
