President Carter's spirits 'strong' a year after entering hospice
Newsy
Hospice care is recommended for those with a terminal illness with an anticipated life expectancy of six months.
Former President Jimmy Carter has remained in hospice care for over one year now, and he continues to show his resilience, his family said.
On Sunday, his grandson Jason Carter provided an update on his father to CBS News.
"After a year in hospice, on a daily basis, we have no expectations for his body. But we know that his spirit is as strong as ever," Jason Carter said.
The 99-year-old former president was last seen in public in November at his wife Rosalynn's funeral. He sat in the first row during the service in a wheelchair while donning a blanket in his wife's honor.
Carter has survived battles with brain cancer, liver cancer and a number of other health scares.
