He has a high white blood cell count and low red blood cell count and needs transfusions to keep
red bloods higher. He is a mystery to the doctors. Any ideas?

Brief Answer:
Reports needed. May need immunophenotyping.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you can share your reports with me, I will be able to help you. I would like to review complete blood count and peripheral smear examination report. He may or may not have CLL. I would order for imunophenotyping study to know the exact type of leukemia (if present).
Please send me your all reports and I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then you can ask me further. I will be happy to answer.
Wish you a very good health.
