Hi Farida,

It is great to hear that your son has had the surgery, and is doing well.

I understand your concern that his count has not increased dramatically, I was the same after my splenectomy.

Try to take one day at a time, and take comfort in the fact that everyone responds differently.

If it is found that his splenectomy has not been sucessful, there are still other treatment possibilities.

Hang in there Farida. You have friends here who will listen when you need to chat.
