Hello, Font an is a surgery to palliate complex congenital heart disease. Post surgery there can be many reasons why seizure could occur, not completely in the hands of the doctors. However, as he was in hospital, they must have taken immediate measures to stall the seizure. The treatment you have mentioned is supportive care till the brain recovers on its own. Time is the only solution, and we have to wait and want. Nothing active would change the course of action. However, as a matter of reassurance, young child Chat Doctor.  The treatment you have mentioned is optimum and standard of care throughout the world. Regards
