Loretta Lynn's family recently shared the news that her son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who is 69 years old, had to undergo surgery due to kidney failure. However, the initial results of the procedure are disappointing as they do not indicate the desired level of success that the doctors had hoped for.
Crystal, the wife of Ernest, shared an update on Thursday (Jan. 25) regarding his recent surgery. She had initially shared details on Facebook and mentioned that this was the day when doctors would provide more information about the outcome of the operation.
In her update, she expressed her disappointment that the day did not go as expected. However, she remains determined and optimistic, stating that she firmly believes the operation will be successful and that the Lord will provide for their needs. She kindly requests that others pray specifically for the new device to start working for them tomorrow morning. She emphasizes her faith in God and the strength of prayer, and expresses gratitude for the ongoing prayers, concern, and friendship.
Crystal has not provided any new official information about Ernest since Sunday, but she has used social media to inform fans that the family is still praying for her husband. Additionally, she has shared a collection of photos of Ernest, some of which seem to have been captured while he was in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has lived longer than two of her children that she had with her late husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. The first child is their oldest daughter Betty Sue, who passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. The second child is their oldest son Jack Benny, who tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on the 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 established herself as an iconic figure in country music and held the record for being the most honored female country artist in history.
