I hope you have : Access to sub-specialists such as a pediatric neurologist, cardiologist, developmental/behavioral/pediatrician, geneticist, developmental therapists & support services, as your daughter will need ongoing management of her complex conditions. Look on http://www.Thefilipinodoctor.Com/search.Php?Keyword=neurology & http://www.Iacphils.Com/index.Php?Task=view&pid=35 for the closest specialists.

Ask Neurologist: This is a complex situation. The vsd should not play a role in the brain or seizure issues. I would assume that the child is on anti-seizure medication. Make sure that this is taken regularly and there is regular follow-up with whomever is managing the seizures. It can be a very frustrating situation as you describe it. I'm not sure you can completely 'avoid' a seizure.
