Hi Matthew42,
You may want to use this time to get yet another opinion from an AA expert. Giving a second round of ATG may make sense if it was felt that the immune attack was still going on in full-force. I am not sure how they can definitively tell this though.
Having such frequent RBC transfusion is concerning. Is your mom fighting a virus now?
Has she been tested for PNH?
