WBC & Platelets now normal?

Hello all,

We are perplexed with this weeks labs and now sure what to make of it. His WBC is 4.3 almost in normal range and Platelets are now 150. Those two numbers have not been normal or almost normal since the diagnosis of MDS 3 months ago. The WBC hung around in the 3's up until this week. Platelets have slowly climbed until normal range this past week. However his HGB dropped to 7.7. The other thing is, his temp one night was 100.2 and stayed just that until it broke in the middle of the night. It was normal that morning and has been. He took his temp because he felt that his WBC increased and for some reason he thought they were fighting something. But nothing ever came of it or no other symptoms thankfully.

I'm concerned because that is how it all started for him. He ran a one day temp which was 101.6 I believe. Same scenario. Disappeared. About 3 months later he was admitted to the hospital with a high fever, critical blood counts, transfusions ect.

Any feedback is appreciated. Maybe I'm just overreacting?

Thank you,
Rarity
