Interesting bits (If I may see, nothing new ofc) : 

 

“I don’t know what keeps him going,” Jason Carter said. “I think he doesn’t know how to give up on anything.” But he added that he worried that his bedbound grandfather was no longer having new experiences. “He’s so physically diminished,” Jason Carter said. “I just worry that he’s not enjoying himself.

 

He has become severely diminished physically. There are days when his grandchildren and great-grandchildren travel to Plains only to be told that he is not able to see them.
 

“When she passed, we all frankly thought that he wouldn’t be much longer,” said Jason Carter, another grandson and the board chairman of the Carter Center, the philanthropic institution founded by the former president and first lady. “And I think he had a real low period for a while. But these last few months, he’s really gotten re-engaged with the world.”

 

Is this the first time they clearly state that he is bed bound or am I missing something ?

I got the impression back in the spring that he was asleep most days.

It is certainly the first time I know of where that's been really noted, at least in the past several months.

I have never been this excited for someone else’s birthday to include my own family.
