Cait,
Hello and welcome to our loving group of friends. I have had a VNS for about 5 years, it has not completly controlled my spells, but has help a great deal. They are a lot easier and not as many in a month. Where I was having them often during a month's time it has cut them in about half. Also before I got it my seizures were much easier on me. What type of medications is she on?
Just about a year ago I developed sleep apnea and started sleeping with a C-PAP , at first I had a hard time but have adjusted to it. So in my opinion the VNS is not causing any problems.
Again I will say the VNS will not take the seizures away but may help her out by easing them. Which my doctor said it wasn't a gurantee that they were not going completly away.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope I have at least answered some of your questions. Give your daughter a great big  for me and tell her to keep her head up.
Darlene
