My past is shrinking. My father, Chester Andrew Reasoner died March 4, 2018 after a battle, I believe, with a broken heart. My brother Chester Leo Reasoner died May 3, 2018 on my daughter Lauren's (his goddaughter) 25th birthday. Just two months after my dad.
See, 14 months prior Chet was found struggling in his room at my parent's house from low blood sugar. He was seizing and aspirated his own vomit. Thus landing on life support with constant seizures. He never recovered. He came off life support, was up walking, feeding himself and could hold a conversation. His behavior was erratic and unpredictable but it looked like he had a chance to get back into life. He was discharged from rehab to a nursing home in Trenton with the plan to be discharged home. He didn't last 24 hours in the facility, after telling Aunt Winnie he needed to hurry up and get better so he could "get the hell out of here" he lapsed into round the clock seizures threatening his life once again. He was never the same again. Even though the seizures stopped he was destined to live out the rest of his life on a feeding tube unable to care for himself. He was in long term care at the Princeton Acute Care Center
