You don't want to encourage unnecessary tests or treatments, but Danica's eosinophil count certainly seems unusual.

I think it's time to quiz Danica's doctor again. You should ask about the possible explanations for the high and rising EOS count, ask whether it is now a medical concern to the doctor (and if not when it will be), and make it clear that this is of concern to you because you don't have enough information about it. Please let us know what the doctor says.

It's part of a doctor's job to keep you informed, not just treat the disease. If the doctor can refer you to another source (a person or resource) for the information you need, that's fine, but your question should not be shrugged off.

Overall, you and your family must be very pleased that your daughter's other counts (the ones of primary concern after a transplant) are good and that she is asymptomatic.
