Jimmy Carter, the former US president, received an update on his grandfather’s health from his grandson on the eve of his 100th birthday. He expressed his opinions during a music function in Jimmy’s honor. Former President Jimmy Carter’s loving grandson Jason Carter gave some new details regarding his grandfather’s health prior to the historic occasion that he will commemorate on October 1. He said this after Jason had described Jimmy as being in hospice care in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

Jason informed People magazine that although though Jimmy is unable to do any physical duties on his own, he is still very much aware of and there for emotions at the “Jimmy Carter 100: A party in Song” birthday party. “He has been in hospice care for more than 19 months, and although his physical abilities have significantly decreased, he remains emotionally active, laughing, and loving,” said Jason. “[He’s] enjoying the world as best he can as he proceeds through this journey,” he said in closing.

The 39th President of the United States’ grandson went on to say that while Jimmy is emotionally invested, his health has not altered much despite being under hospice care for a few months.

Jason added that when his grandfather initially entered hospice care, his family thought he would only have a few days to live. However, in his words, “God had other plans. “Prior to speaking with People, Jason had a discussion regarding his grandfather’s health with Southern Living. During the conversation, it became evident that Jimmy does not always stay awake and that his loved ones can not always forecast his emotional state despite paying him regular visits.

Jason expressed his inability to understand what his grandfather may be going through while receiving hospice care and being separated from his beloved wife by saying, “After 77 years of marriage…,” To put it simply, I do not think any of us really understand what he is going through right now. It is imperative that we acknowledge the existence of unfathomable components of the spirit.

Jason claims that Jimmy acknowledged in the same Southern Living interview that he had informed others that he was unsure of his grandfather’s condition because it was hard to tell. He smiled a little and replied, “I am not sure, myself.” Jason disclosed their conversation. Jason added that when his grandfather initially entered hospice care, his family thought he would only have a few days to live. However, in his words, “God had other plans.” “The only place he would go during this phase of his life is Plains, which has provided him with the most support.
