Unhappy Confused about my sons BM results

Hi, I’m a newbie on here, my 12 year old son has been diagnosed chronic ITP with platelet counts for the last year never going higher than 60 and as low as 34. He recently had a bone marrow biopsy which was hypocellilar and at 30%.
My son is always fighting sore throats and generally has gone from being a normal lad to feeling tired and sometimes struggles to make a full day at school. His consultant feels there maybe some signs of AA going on and has told us he wants to watch and wait.
As a mum I’m so worried that there’s something I should be doing, I hate seeing him so run down and tearful.
Has anyone heard of having AA with only platelets being the problem ( and the low cellularity).
Does ITP cause low cellularity normally, I didn’t think it did but would love some advice.
