Jimmy Carter's Grandson Says Ex-President No Longer Awake Every Day
Jason Carter, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, disclosed that his grandfather's health is deteriorating. The 99-year-old is no longer awake every day, as he continues to receive hospice care at his Georgia home.
前美國總統吉米·卡特的孫子傑森·卡特透露,卡特的健康狀況正在惡化。這位99歲的前總統在佐治亞州的家中接受臨終關懷,不再每天都清醒。
What Happened: The eldest of the Carter grandchildren, spoke to Southern Living about his grandfather's condition. The interview, published on Thursday, revealed that the former president is no longer awake every day and his condition fluctuates daily. Carter has been in hospice care for 16 months, reported The Hill.
發生了什麼:這位卡特孫子中最年長的孫輩在《Southern Living》雜誌上談到了他爺爺的狀況。這篇文章於週四發表,揭示了這位前總統不再每天都清醒,而且他的狀況每天都在波動。據The Hill報道,卡特已經接受臨終關懷長達16個月。南方生活傑森·卡特詳細描述了他最近拜訪祖父的情況,他們一起觀看了亞特蘭大勇士隊的比賽。"我告訴他,我說:'Pawpaw,你知道,當別人問我你怎麼樣的時候,我會說,'老實說,我不知道。'"傑森·卡特說:"他有點微笑,說:'我也不知道。'"
Jason Carter detailed a recent visit to his grandfather where they watched an Atlanta Braves game together.
由於他的健康狀況持續惡化,卡特的健康一直是令人擔憂的問題。今年5月,傑森·卡特表示,由於其父親的健康狀況惡化,他即將"走向終點"。這是在一個以他已故祖母、前第一夫人羅莎琳·卡特命名的心理健康論壇上說的。
"I told him, I said: 'Pawpaw, you know, when people ask me how you're doing I say, 'Honestly, I don't know,'" said Jason Carter. "And he kind of smiled, and he said, 'I don't know, myself.'"
羅莎琳·卡特在她去世前兩天,也進入了臨終關懷。這是在她的丈夫開始臨終關懷約10個月後。
Carter's health has been a cause for concern for some time. In May, Jason Carter had indicated that the former president was "coming to the end" as his health was deteriorating. This was during a mental health forum named after his late grandmother, former first lady Rosalynn Carter.
卡特已經99歲了,他既是歷史上壽命最長的總統,也是最長壽的總統。
Rosalynn Carter had herself entered hospice care two days before her passing, which was about 10 months after her husband's hospice care began.
爲什麼這很重要:卡特夫婦一直是持久愛情的象徵,他們的感情紐帶通過他們的口頭禪"ILYTG"即"我最愛你"來體現。在他妻子去世後,這位前總統表達了他深深的悲痛,強調了她在他們共同生活中的支持和指導。
At age 99, Carter is both the longest-lived president and the oldest-living president.
儘管卡特曾經度過轉移性腦癌、肝癌、以及如2019年跌倒後的腦外科手術等許多的健康危機,但2023年2月他還是進入了臨終關懷。自那以後,他的健康狀況一直是一個令人擔憂的話題。
Why It Matters: The Carters have been a symbol of enduring love, with a bond encapsulated by their phrase "ILYTG" — "I love you the goodest." The former president had expressed his profound sense of loss after his wife's passing, highlighting her support and guidance throughout their lives together.
