Former President Jimmy Carter has stunned doctors and family members by thriving seven months after entering hospice care and is looking forward to his 99th birthday in just over a week.

Maybe it’s the peanut butter ice cream he still enjoys. Or the fact that his first-place Atlanta Braves are cruising toward the playoffs and he wants to see another World Series.

Or as many of his loved ones and former advisers suggest, maybe he is just too stubborn to follow anyone else’s timetable.

While nearly everyone, including his family, assumed that the end was imminent when he gave up full-scale medical care last winter, the farmer-turned-president has once again defied expectations.

“We thought at the beginning of this process that it was going to be in five or so days,” Jason Carter, his grandson, said.

“I was down there with him in the hospital and then said goodbye. And then we thought it was going to be in that week that it was coming to the end. And it’s just now been seven months.”

Relatives say President Carter is aware of the outpouring of love and support he has received and is deeply grateful.

Here’s to you President Carter! We wish you a wonderful Birthday coming up. May you always defy expectations! ���
