How do I know if my child's bone marrow transplant is working or not?

My 12 year old son recently received a bone marrow transplant. How will I know if it is working or not?

The bone marrow transplant doctors are checking labs and performing bone marrows to make sure your son's blood counts and bone marrow reflect that the transplant worked.
The hematologist will do blood tests and when the counts stay up on their own this is a good sign the bone marrow is working by making new cells
