Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
It seems that your father got fits, but it is good that his MRI report is normal.

He is being given anti convulsant Livipil which is Levetiracetam this should continue regularly as per advise of your treating doctor.

AS he is already undergone liver transplant care must be taken to monitor his liver functions regularly as the drug itself can cause some derangement of liver functions.

One can get fits with normal MRI as there are so many causes for it please consult a Neurophysician regarding this. An EEG can be very useful to know the type of fits he got.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
