The fact that Jimmy Carter, the former president, is 98 years old and aging more slowly makes sense. The former statesman has been receiving hospice care at home as he draws closer to passing away.
Continue reading to learn more about this modification in his hospice care from his grandson.
Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, decided against further medical treatment in favor of spending time with his loved ones at home while receiving hospice care.
After the former President’s brief hospital stays, The Carter Center released a statement. Jason Carter, one of the former President’s 22 grandchildren, has been providing information about his grandpa to Americans.
The young Carter stated during a press conference that his grandfather’s health was “as good as it can be”.
The former First Lady Rosalynn Carter and her grandson, Jason, were “just meeting with family right now, but they’re doing it in the best possible way: the two of them together at home.”. Rosalynn has worked with President Carter for more than seven decades.
The couple will mark their 77th wedding anniversary in July.
They are conscious of the fact that they are not in charge. Their faith is currently what really grounds them. In that sense, Jason Carter continued, it’s perfect. He asserted that his grandfather was aware of all the love that had been sent his way over the previous few months, despite his health issues.
But his contribution goes beyond his time. His grandson claims that peanut butter ice cream is one of his favorite flavors. The flavor choice is appropriate for the president, who took over the family-owned peanut plantation from his father in the early 1950s.
Up until his 1977 election as president of the United States, he ran the farm. In the popular vote and with 297 to 240 electoral votes, he defeated Gerald Ford to become the 39th President of the United States. Prior to being defeated by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election, he served one term as president.
His founding principles of “a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering” served as the foundation’s compass when it was established in 1982. He established the foundation with aid from Emory University and his wife. Despite its stated objectives to “improve freedom and democracy, prevent and resolve conflicts, and promote health,” the foundation continues to operate. ”.
The former president has experienced a number of health issues recently. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and fought it valiantly. He frequently hurt himself by falling in his house, too. They included a fractured pelvic bone, a black eye, a broken forehead, and a broken hip.
When Bush passed away at the age of 94, nearly five years ago, he still held the record for the longest-living president ever.
We pray for the former president’s family and health in this tumultuous time. Please join us in sending them our best wishes and prayers.
