I'm afraid you will have to wait to see the neurosurgeon for your answers. Be sure though that the neurosurgeon is a specialist in spines only.
I would also get more than one opinion before I followed any course of treatment for your daughter, especially if the recommendation is surgery.
I would also be sure that the doctors you use are pediatric ones and specialize in pediatric spine issues only.
Good luck and let us know what the doctor says.
