Loretta Lynn's family recently shared an update on the condition of her son, Ernest Ray Lynn. The 69-year-old underwent 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 an update with fans on Thursday (Jan. 25), a few days after his surgery. She had previously mentioned on Facebook that this was the day when doctors would be able to provide more information about the outcome of the operation.
In her update, she expressed her disappointment with how the day had gone, but emphasized that they were not losing hope. They strongly believed that the operation would be successful and that their needs would be met by the Lord. She requested specific prayers for the new device to start working the following morning. They had faith in God and believed in the power of prayer, and expressed gratitude for the ongoing prayers, concern, and friendship.
Despite not providing any recent official updates on Ernest, Crystal has taken to social media to inform fans that her family is still praying for her husband. Additionally, she has shared a collection of photos featuring Ernest, some of which seem to have been captured during his time in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has experienced the painful loss of two of her children who she had with her late husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Her oldest daughter, Betty Sue, passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. Additionally, her eldest son, Jack Benny, tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on their 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 holds the record for being the most honored female country artist.
