Do
you
remember
the
scare
we
had
with
him
when
he
was
nine
months
old
?
"
he
asked
finally
.
"
Yes
.
Yes
,
of
course
I
do
.
Why
?
"
By
the
time
Gage
was
nine
months
old
,
Louis
had
become
deeply
concerned
about
his
son
's
cranial
size
.
It
was
right
off
Louis
's
Berterier
Chart
,
which
showed
the
normal
range
of
infant
head
sizes
on
a
per-month
basis
.
At
four
months
,
Gage
's
skull
size
had
begun
to
drift
toward
the
highest
part
of
the
curve
,
and
then
it
began
to
go
even
higher
than
that
.
He
was
n't
having
any
trouble
holding
his
head
up
--
that
would
have
been
a
dead
giveaway
--
but
Louis
had
nevertheless
taken
him
to
George
Tardiff
,
who
was
perhaps
the
best
neurologist
in
the
Midwest
.
Rachel
had
wanted
to
know
what
was
wrong
,
and
Louis
had
told
her
the
truth
:
he
was
worried
that
Gage
might
be
hydrocephalic
.
Rachel
's
face
had
grown
very
white
,
but
she
had
remained
calm
.
"
He
seems
normal
to
me
,
"
she
said
.
Louis
nodded
.
"
He
does
to
me
too
.
But
I
do
n't
want
to
ignore
this
,
babe
.
"
"
No
,
you
must
n't
,
"
she
said
.
"
We
must
n't
.
"
Tardiff
had
measured
Gage
's
skull
and
frowned
.
Tardiff
poked
two
fingers
at
Gage
's
face
,
Three
Stooges
style
.
Gage
flinched
.
Tardiff
smiled
.
Louis
's
heart
thawed
out
a
little
.
Tardiff
gave
Gage
a
ball
to
hold
.
Gage
held
it
for
a
while
and
then
dropped
it
.
Tardiff
retrieved
the
ball
and
bounced
it
,
watching
Gage
's
eyes
.
Gage
's
eyes
tracked
the
ball
.
"
I
'd
say
there
's
a
fifty-fifty
chance
he
's
hydrocephalic
,
"
Tardiff
said
to
Louis
in
his
office
later
.
"
No
--
the
odds
may
actually
be
a
bit
higher
than
that
.
If
so
,
it
's
mild
.
He
seems
very
alert
.
The
new
shunt
operation
should
take
care
of
the
problem
easily
...
if
there
is
a
problem
.
