Loretta Lynn's son, Ernest, recently underwent surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns about the success of the procedure. However, his wife, Crystal, shared an update on Monday (Jan. 29) revealing that Ernest's health has started to show significant improvements.
Crystal expresses her inability to provide an explanation for the situation she is referring to, attributing it to a higher power, which she refers to as God. She describes how one day they were unable to undergo a successful dialysis treatment for a total of three weeks, but the following day they were able to. Similarly, she mentions how they were facing more severe circumstances one day, but the next day the situation had improved. Crystal also mentions how uncertainty about the future was present at one point, but now they feel optimistic and believe that the future holds promise.
Crystal expresses that GOD is capable of doing things that we, as humans, cannot accomplish, and she emphasizes that HE has indeed achieved it. She further shares a picture of Ernest, who is in the process of recovering, seated in a chair at a medical facility. Despite being connected to various machines, he seems to be resting comfortably.
During Ernest's medical journey, Crystal has reached out to fans who are worried about her husband's recovery, asking for their support and prayers. In her most recent update, she highlights the significant impact that prayer has had on Ernest's health improvements.
The person expresses their gratitude and acknowledges that their achievements would not have been possible without the faith, prayers, and support of others, including God. They are thankful to everyone who has been a part of their support system, for taking the time to pray for them, and for being a part of God's army. Their gratitude is everlasting.
In addition, she mentions that Ernest is allowed to return home in order to recover after his time in the hospital.
