Thank you for the well-written and scientifically accurate translation into laymen's language of both the nature and treatment of hydrocephalus, as well as sharing the familial and individual consequences.

What tragedies both of your parents endured. Your genealogical research shed light on the mystery so many decades later. An absorbing, and heartbreaking, column.

Arnie, thanks for this beautiful, and yet haunting, story from your own family. We've learned from other stories you've shared with readers what an amazing history your family has. This chapter of it speaks to what a miracle life is, and how fragile it also is. Bless all Garsons, past and present.
