5. (Though I have some experience, this is a layman's point of view.) Agree with Manny.

Safety / liability concerns likely come into play here. For all concerned. A visit with the neurologist that works with her on managing her seizures seems appropriate. She can present the situation, outline the details of her duties on the job and request a medical clearance for work.

(aside) I have a seizure disorder. After my 3rd seizure, iirc, my MD had to report the events to the Department of Motor vehicles. CA State law. Safety / liability concerns were a big part of my situation. For all concerned. My license was revoked, a decision I understood and actually supported. Seizure while driving - mmm, that's a pretty clear call. But that's far from your daughter's situation, I assume.

Your daughter's situation seems another ball of wax. Sounds like a great employee doing a job she loves. And it sounds like she has supportive co-workers. So perhaps the medical clearance is actually a good thing to have on file. For all concerned.

Hang in there mopinko! All the best to you both.
