Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently underwent surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns that the surgery might not have been successful. However, there is now some positive news as Ernest's health has shown promising improvements, as reported by his wife Crystal on Monday (Jan. 29).
Crystal expressed on Facebook that she cannot find any logical explanation for the positive changes in their situation other than attributing it to a higher power, which she refers to as God. She highlights the sudden improvement in their dialysis treatment after three weeks of unsuccessful attempts. Crystal also mentions how they went from facing severe circumstances to a more hopeful outlook in just one day, leading them to feel uncertain about the future one day and confident in its brightness the next.
Crystal expresses that GOD has the ability to accomplish things that we are unable to do, and that GOD has indeed accomplished something. She further shares a picture of Ernest, who seems to be recovering in a chair at a medical facility. He is connected to machines but appears to be resting comfortably.
During Ernest's difficult medical journey, Crystal has been reaching out to fans and asking 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 improving health.
