Unhappy Suggestions needed for my Vanda

I have a Princess Mikasa Blue Vanda that my boyfriend got me at Lowes. It is in a 4 inch basket with nothing else. It has a bunch of dried up dead looking roots with only 2 that look semi alive. Meaning, they turn a little green when watered. I have been reading all the posts on here about reviving Vandas and have been following everyones advice. I have been soaking it for about a half hour or so everyday with distilled water in a bucket. I added some KLN and a little MSU fertilizer. Then it goes in a vase the rest of the time. I don't have it directly under my lights yet because it seemed to dry really quick under them and started to decline quickly. So now I have it on the floor right next to my lights.

The problem I'm having is that it has been about 6 weeks and there is no new root growth and now it's starting to drop it's lower leaves at a rapid rate. Any thoughts or suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Or is it still to soon to tell? Do you just think that sometimes there is no bring them back? But I would think that with 2 okayish roots it still would have a chance. Sorry about the long post but I guess I'm just worried. Any help would be very greatly appreciated!!!
