Brief Answer:
Follow treatment plan as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached document.
Based on your history and the report it looks like he has a small head and seizures . There could be multiple reasons for this including infection while baby was developing in the womb.
Your doctor has rightly advised blood tests and I advise you to follow his protocol.
Some infection s like cmv can be treated with medicines, some cannot be treated .
Don't lose hope. There is good chance of improvement if you follow up regularly.
Wishing your child good health.
