How To Increase Platelets And Wbc In Child?

My 4yo son has a range of health problems. Most recently intubated and hospitalized for 5 days following a seizure.Since he has been 2 he has had low - threshold platelets, low wbc was avg 4.5, now dropping to 2.7. Neutrophils 1.2, and sporatic low leukocytes. His rbc and hgb are typically higher than normal, and his b12 was 3xs the norm for adults.Now his labs are starting to show immature granulocytes .2, i think, and absolute immature granulocytes .1. He has not recently been sick, the first time it happened, i thought maybe stress, but consecutively having them show, in light of all the rest is concerning me. Any thoughts?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanking for consulting, his analysis is very suspicious and changeable, you should go to some private hospital and show your child to haematologist. They can do bone marrow examination , other analysis and will tell you better what diagnosis he has . We can only suspect some hematological diseases, but he needs deep examination and what symptoms he has except analysis.It is very important. What diseases has he before?I need more details.Thanks
Best regards
