Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion the time taken for your baby to become normal will depend on the diagnosis of her condition and the damage that has been caused to the brain tissue which is evident on the MRI.
In addition to gardenal and physiotherapy start audio visual stimulation program to promote her visual following and fixation and auditory response.
I hope I have helped you
Thank you.
