Default shunt revisions and seizures

Hello, I am happy that I found this site. My 4 year old daughter has hydrocephalus and a vp shunt. She has had 14 revisions, with the latest being this Monday December 21st. I am very concerned because her shunt malfunctions are now causing seizures. The doctors seem to think that it's nothing to be worried about. I have been reading that the seizures can be due to the scar tissue for the multiple revisions. I don't understand why they can't get it right. How much can her brain take? They tell me that it does not cause brain damange to do a revision but I am not so sure. She is such a little trooper, but the seizures are really scary. Can anyone relate and or have any suggestions.
