Hi exeng,
Am not in medicine, but it now appears you and I have two things in common (the other being the A320).
AMEandPPL will realize that your daughter would have seen consultant neurologist(s) at some stage years ago, when she was having those absence seizures, and is presumably on daily medication. Our experience and observation is that, after the rough ride of adolescence and early years of finding feet in employment, the late twenties also may not be plain sailing, even if the sufferer feels reasonably comfortable with the medication she/he is on. [She may not be, particularly if on sodium valporate - for example - and wanting to start a family.] We were caught on the hop a couple of years ago.
With this sudden change in her condition she will obviously be re-consulting. The profession now seems to accept that the vast number of epilepsy sufferers are mainly determined to live as normal a life as possible, and that their families, like you, share that aim and are there to help if and when needed.
Check your PMs and remember, there are hundreds of thousands of other mums and dads, brothers and sisters, not to mention spouses, who share your hopes and concerns.
Chris
