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.

WASHINGTON – OCTOBER 04: Former US President Jimmy Carter listens during the kick-off of an all-week construction project to mark the World Habitat Day and the annual Habitat for Humanity Carter Work Project October 4, 2010 in the Ivy City neighborhood of Washington, DC. Carter was recently released from an Ohio hospital after being treated for a viral infection. Under the project a total of 86 homes will be built, rehabilitated or repaired in Washington, DC; Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota; and Birmingham, Alabama.

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.

“His Wealth Is Estimated At $400 Million”: Despite That Reeves Lives Like An Ordinary Person And Is Going To Marry A Simple Gray-Haired Woman!

Known for his parts in successful movies, Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves is considered one of the country’s most desirable bachelors. Reeves, who is 59 years old, has a $400 million net worth. The actor’s modest lifestyle, which includes using the metro, eating meals on park benches, and striking up cordial talks with regular people, frequently surprises fans.

Reeves’ partner Jennifer was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 2001, leaving him with significant emotional wounds that prompted introspection and a period of life transformation.

Reeves was unmarried for a long time before he met visual artist Alexandra Grant. Some of Reeves’ fans, however, were shocked by his decision and voiced their thoughts on social media.

Her look deviates greatly from what is typically associated with feminine beauty. Some followers expressed surprise at Reeves’ decision, saying, “She looks more like the average retiree.”
