"
A
shunt
means
brain
surgery
,
"
Louis
said
.
"
Minor
brain
surgery
.
"
Louis
had
studied
the
process
not
long
after
he
began
to
worry
about
the
size
of
Gage
's
head
,
and
the
shunt
operation
,
designed
to
drain
excess
fluid
,
had
not
looked
very
minor
to
him
.
But
he
kept
his
mouth
shut
,
telling
himself
just
to
be
grateful
the
operation
existed
at
all
.
"
Of
course
,
"
Tardiff
went
on
,
"
there
's
still
a
large
possibility
that
your
kid
just
has
a
real
big
head
for
a
nine-month-old
.
I
think
a
CAT-scan
is
the
best
place
to
start
.
Do
you
agree
?
"
Louis
had
agreed
.
Gage
spent
a
night
in
Our
Sisters
of
Charity
Hospital
and
underwent
general
anesthesia
.
His
sleeping
head
was
stuck
into
a
gadget
that
looked
like
a
giant
clothes
dryer
.
Rachel
and
Louis
waited
downstairs
while
Ellie
spent
the
day
at
Grandma
and
Grandda
's
,
watching
"
Sesame
Street
"
nonstop
on
Grandda
's
new
video
recorder
.
For
Louis
,
those
had
been
long
,
gray
hours
in
which
he
found
himself
totting
up
sums
of
varying
ugliness
and
comparing
results
.
Death
under
general
anesthesia
,
death
during
a
shunt
operation
,
mild
retardation
as
a
result
of
hydrocephalus
,
cataclysmic
retardation
as
a
result
of
same
,
epilepsy
,
blindness
...
oh
,
there
were
all
sorts
of
possibilities
.
For
really
complete
disaster
maps
,
Louis
remembered
thinking
,
see
your
local
doctor
.
Tardiff
had
come
into
the
waiting
room
around
five
o'clock
.
He
had
three
cigars
.
He
plugged
one
into
Louis
's
mouth
,
one
into
Rachel
's
(
she
was
too
flabbergasted
to
protest
)
,
and
one
into
his
own
.
"
The
kid
is
fine
.
No
hydrocephalus
.
"
"
Light
this
thing
,
"
Rachel
had
said
,
weeping
and
laughing
at
the
same
time
.
"
I
'm
going
to
smoke
it
till
I
puke
.
"
Grinning
,
Tardiff
lit
their
cigars
.
