Hi,
Your family has had quite a lot to deal with. I can appreciate your desire to get answers, which you deserve. Any scans of the brain, at this time, will not reveal the extent of injury done when she was younger. The brain continues to grow until the age of 25. Reflux and aspiration are not uncommon for causing respiratory arrest in infants. Within 5 minutes of anoxia, brain cells begin to die. It is not uncommon to have development lags in premature children. Testing is a snapshot look at the child. You may notice problems just by the day to day contact with your daughter. These issues are often not picked up during testing.
You may want to consult a neuropsychologist who specializes in brain injury.
