Hi Susie,
I've had seizures for 36 yrs. and take my word when I say that the seizure activity may not show up on an e.e.g. or other tests and that's because the brain damage is to deep in the brain to pick up the single. This happend to me when I went in for brain surgery all kinds of tests were done MRI CT scan, e.e.g. and much more but it wasn't until surgery that they found brain damage on both sides of my brain. Have your friend check out this web page for more info.

This sounds like your friends daughter may be having reflex seizures. Here's wishing you and your friends well. May God Bless All of You!
Sue
