Jimmy Carter’s eldest grandchild shares health update as former president nears 16 months in hospice
It’s been 479 days since Jimmy Carter entered hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia.
Although the former president’s family initially believed he would only live a few days, Carter, at 99 years old, has defied the odds.
“God had other plans,” Jason Carter, 48, said.
Jason, the oldest of the Jimmy and Rosalynn’s 22 grandchildren, recently shared an update with Southern Living on the Health of the 39th president.
According to the oldest grandchild, there’s “really been no change” in the last few months.
After nearly 16 months under hospice care, the last seven without his wife of 77 years, Carter is “experiencing the world as best he can as he continues through this process.”
“After 77 years of marriage… I just think none of us really understand what it’s like for him right now,” Jason said.. “We have to embrace that fact, that there’s things about the spirit that you just can’t understand.”
While family continue to visit the former president at his home in Plains, they find it difficult to predict what kind of day Carter will have.
More often than not, Carter spends his days sleeping.
However, a few weeks ago Jason visited his grandfather and the two watched an Atlanta Braves Game and talked about the Carter Center and their family.
“I told him, I said: ‘Pawpaw, you know, when people ask me how you’re doing I say, ‘honestly I don’t know,’” Jason remembered. “And he kind of smiled and he said ‘I don’t know, myself.’”
Jimmy Carter is in my prayers every single day. Please share to keep him and his family in yours.
I Visited My Pregnant Sister, and When I Saw How Her Husband Treated Her, I Taught Him a Lesson
When I visited my pregnant sister, I was shocked to find her husband treating her like a servant. Determined to change his attitude, I made a bold bet: if he could handle a day of her tasks with a watermelon belly, I’d become his maid for life; if not, he’d step up as a husband. As he struggled through chores, his perspective shifted. By day’s end, humbled and tearful, he apologized, realizing her sacrifices. From then on, he transformed into a supportive partner, helping with everything and proving his newfound commitment when their baby arrived.
