Loretta Lynn's son, Ernest, recently had surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns that the surgery may not have been effective. However, there is now some positive news as Ernest's wife, Crystal, has shared that he has started to experience significant improvements in his health as of Monday, January 29th.
Crystal expressed on Facebook that she cannot provide any logical explanation for the circumstances she is experiencing, except for the intervention of a higher power, which she refers to as GOD. She highlights the unpredictability of the situation, where one day they were unable to undergo a successful dialysis process for a total of three weeks, but the very next day, they were able to. Similarly, the severity of the circumstances they were facing seemed to change from day to day. Initially unsure about what the future held, Crystal now feels optimistic and confident that the future will be positive.
She continues to express that GOD is capable of accomplishing things that we are unable to do, and indeed, HE has achieved it. Crystal also uploaded a picture of Ernest recovering in what seems to be a chair at a medical facility, connected to various machines but otherwise finding comfort in resting.
During the challenging time of Ernest's medical struggle, 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 health improvements.
The writer expresses their gratitude and acknowledges that their achievements would not have been possible without the faith, prayers, and support of others. They thank everyone for being a part of their support system and for taking the time to pray for them. They are extremely thankful to be a part of God's army and express their eternal gratitude.
Additionally, she mentions that Ernest is able to return home to recover after his time in the hospital.
