The diagnosis should be confirmed by another independent reference lab and discussed in person with the physician who ordered the tests, IMHO.

I'm an RN and I heartily agree. In the meantime, look online for support groups. You usually find all kinds of resources from these groups...parents who've tried all kinds of things. Read what they say and get more information as you can about your daughter's disease and current therapy.

We'll all be praying!

I agree; there always needs to be a second opinion. A hospital in Memphis had our niece and the whole family up in the air for several days with their snap diagnosis of Downs Syndrome of her baby. Further testing was negative; it just happened that she had certain physical traits inherited from both sides of the family that resembled the physical appearance of a Downs child.
