I think what you are feeling is normal, because you are such a caring person and love Layla so much.
No one can give you a reason for what has happened, sometimes things just are. But I do believe that thanks to this thread, your honesty, all your explanations about her care, and the heartbreak you pour into your posts, there will be other yorkies whose owners will benefit and be able to add your experience to their "rational head" and make the decision sooner. I will have Layla's story in my mind for as long as I have dogs, not just a YT. I also saw where you posted to someone else that Layla had experienced similar symptons as their dog was having, and if it only has someone asking their vet more informed questions, it makes a difference.
You love Layla so much, I know its hard to see her recover slowly, but it does sound as though she has a chance. At least she isn't in pain and has the two people she loves most caring for her.
