Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently underwent a life-saving surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns that the surgery may not have been successful. However, as of Monday (Jan. 29), Ernest's wife Crystal has provided an update stating that he is now experiencing positive improvements in his health.
Crystal expressed her lack of understanding for the situation, attributing it solely to a higher power, God. She highlights the drastic changes that occurred within a day – from unsuccessful dialysis to successful dialysis, from facing serious circumstances to a more positive outlook on the next day. The uncertainty about the future was replaced with a newfound confidence in its brightness.
She expresses that GOD is capable of accomplishing things that we are unable to do, and that HE has indeed achieved it! Crystal also posted a picture of Ernest recovering in what seems to be a seat in a healthcare facility, connected to medical equipment but otherwise at ease.
During Ernest's medical journey, Crystal has 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 has had on Ernest's improvement in health.
The author expresses their gratitude and acknowledges that none of their achievements would have been possible without the faith and support of others. They specifically thank everyone for being a part of their support system, for dedicating time to praying for them, and for being a part of God's army. The author concludes by expressing their eternal gratitude.
In addition, she mentions that Ernest is fortunate enough to be able to return home for his recovery after his time at the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has survived the deaths of two of her children, Betty Sue and Jack Benny, who were both born to her late husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Betty Sue passed away 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. She had reached the age of 90. Throughout her life, she achieved great success as one of the most accomplished artists in country music, earning the title of the most decorated female country performer in history.
