Carter is scheduled for Tuesday morning to have a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain caused by bleeding due to recent falls, according to the center.
Carter, 95, suffered a minor pelvic fracture on Oct. 21 when he fell in his home in Plains. He also fell on Oct. 6 which left him with a black eye and multiple stitches.
Carter was treated for the pelvis injury at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus. He returned to his Sunday school class just two weeks later.
The 39th president received a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015 but survived and has since said he is cancer-free.
Carter is resting comfortably, and his wife, Rosalynn, is with him, Congileo said.
