If and when the doctor decides that Danica's elevated EOS count requires action, I'd follow the doctor's guidance about what to do next. Someone with more expertise than us would have to say if that would involve a bone marrow biopsy (BMB). If the doctor doesn't think one is warranted, I personally wouldn't be anxious to dissuade him.

Is the doctor already following a schedule of routine post-transplant biopsies? For example, will Danica have one in November this year, at the two-year mark? My wife had BMBs annually after the first year, for a few years, until it was decided they were no longer worth the expense, discomfort, and minor surgical risks. If Danica will be having one anyway, that may be the time you get the reassurance you are after.

It's clear that Danica has another factor working in her favor: you! Your concern for her, your willingness to ask questions, and your attention to her condition all put her in the best hands possible, Linda.
