Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently went through a surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initial signs were not positive, indicating that the surgery may not have been effective. However, on Monday (Jan. 29), Ernest's wife Crystal shared an update stating that he has started to experience significant improvements in his health.
Crystal expresses her belief in a higher power, stating on Facebook that she cannot find any other explanation for the sudden change in circumstances. She shares that one day they were unable to successfully complete a dialysis treatment for a total of three weeks, but the following day they were able to. She also mentions that one day they were dealing with more severe circumstances, but the next day those circumstances were not as serious. Crystal further shares that one day they were uncertain about what lies ahead, but the next day they are filled with confidence and optimism for a bright future.
She continues by saying that GOD is capable of accomplishing things that we are unable to do, and HE has indeed achieved it! Crystal also posted a picture of Ernest recovering in a chair at a medical facility, connected to various machines but otherwise resting peacefully.
During the time Ernest was facing his medical problems, Crystal reached out to fans and asked for their support and prayers for her husband's recovery. In her most recent update, she emphasizes the significant impact that prayer had on Ernest's progress towards better health.
She expresses her gratitude and acknowledges that none of their achievements would have been possible without the faith of others, the support of their almighty God, and the prayers received. She extends her thanks to everyone who has been a part of their support system and who has taken the time to pray for them. She appreciates all those who have contributed to what she refers to as God's army and expresses eternal gratitude towards them.
She also mentions that Ernest is allowed to return home in order to recover after his stay at the hospital.
Loretta Lynn lived longer than two of her children that she had with her husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Her oldest daughter, Betty Sue, passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. Additionally, her oldest son, Jack Benny, tragically died in 1984 when he drowned 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 immense success as a country music artist and holds the record for being the most honored female country performer in history.
