Apparently you trust  a physical brace to keep  one alive

The child's situation in q is far more dangerous.

A brace will "control the surrounding neck bones IF  the brace stays put.
Braces brake, braces eventually "give way"

 The childs problem in 	INSIDE  the neck.

Surgery MIGHT well be advised

Braces are not the entire answer  in ALL cases

  I admire your faith and trust in a brace but it MIGHT not be the answer if
a brace fails.

That's the risk w a brace and the risk of surgery is just as daunting
