Loretta Lynn's family recently shared an update on her son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who had undergone surgery to treat his kidney failure. However, the initial outcomes of the procedure were not as positive as anticipated by the doctors.
Crystal, the wife of Ernest, shared information on Facebook about his surgery. On Thursday, she gave fans an update, a few days after the operation. Crystal had mentioned earlier that this was the day when doctors would provide more information about the success of the surgery.
In her update, she expressed that the day did not go as anticipated, but they are not losing hope. They firmly believe and have faith that this operation will be a success and that their needs will be met by the Lord. They kindly request prayers specifically for the new device to begin functioning for them tomorrow morning. They have strong trust in God, the power of prayer, and are grateful for the ongoing prayers, care, and friendship received.
Crystal has not provided any additional official information about Ernest since Sunday, but she did take to social media to inform fans that they are still praying for her husband. She also shared a collection of pictures of Ernest, some of which seem to have been captured while he was in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn survived the passing of two of her children, Betty Sue and Jack Benny, who she had with her late husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Betty Sue died in 2013 due to complications from emphysema, while Jack Benny tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on the Lynn family's property in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
Lynn passed away on October 4, 2022, at her residence in Hurricane Mills at the age of 90. Throughout her life, she achieved legendary status in the country music genre and held the record for being the female country performer with the most awards.
