Hello, I'm a 54-year-old adult, who was diagnosed with hydrocephalus in 1998, at which time a vp shunt was installed. So, I've now had the shunt for close to 12 years and I have never had a revision and I still suffer seizures. I take gabapentin twice daily to combat the seizures, but I still suffer occasional disruptions several times a week, including a seizure just before I wrote this post. Since I have never had a revision and I still suffer seizures, I can tell you your daughter's problems with seizures may not be related to the revisions. I used to panic during seizures, but if I visited the hospital, the doctors would just say you've had a seizure, go home. They have upped my medication twice, but the problem with seizures, so I'm told, is just part of the hydrocephalus, even after the shunt placement. Hope I've helped, but remember I'm not a doctor. It may be best to check with your physician.
