Good luck and best wishes to both of you.
Vet costs on a pup such as this can run into many thousands of dollars. I have known people who got them and spent more than $20,000 in vet bills. Some had a live pup at the end of it some did not.
It may not be our place to tell Vanessa whether or not to buy it, but it is certainly our responsibilty to provide the information to base that decision on.
Testing at this age can be misleading. After a pup is born, the mothers system is no longer sustaining its life. It is now up to the pup to do that with its own system. Sometimes it takes many months even a year or more for decline. Sometimes decline is quick. Testing on a very young pup, may show minimal results but a totally different story 6 months or a year later. It just took that long for the condition to become measurable.
