Which diagnostic method did they use for Rosie? I believe that PCR would produce the most reliable results.
I fully understand. And Kendra, I wish I were able to be online more. Unfortunately, I've been bogged down beyond reason of late. However, I will follow this thread very closely. Rosie's PDD diagnosis is horribly upsetting for me! I can only imagine how you must be feeling. FWIW, the local hospital almost killed my mother by terminating one of her critical medications without telling us, and leaving her off of the drug for more than three weeks. She's been at this same hospital since December 26, but will be discharged to a care facility within the next few days - irrespective of the fact that she is not at all well because of their negligence. I'm telling you this because I thought I should give you an update on my availability status. Please don't say more about my situation in this thread. Rosie's situation is critically important and all further discussion here should be exclusively about her. Rosie and you are in my thoughts
The test they used for Rosie was A&E Avian Bornavirus (PDD) DNA - it was done from a blood draw. I believe the is the PCR test? It looks like the DNA testing is what is done in the PCR test. Am I correct in that?
Thank you again everyone for your help. It really is confusing trying to figure all this out.
