Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently underwent a surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns about the success of the surgery. However, his wife Crystal has provided an update, stating that Ernest has started experiencing significant improvements in his health as of Monday (Jan. 29).
Crystal expresses on Facebook that she cannot find any other explanation for the sudden positive turn of events except for the presence of God. She mentions that one day they were unable to have a successful dialysis session for three weeks, but the next day they were able to. Similarly, one day they were facing more severe circumstances, but the following day those circumstances seemed less serious. Crystal also highlights how one day they were unsure about what the future held, but the next day they felt confident that the future would be promising.
According to her, GOD has accomplished something that we, as humans, are unable to do. Crystal then proceeds to mention that Ernest is currently recovering in a medical facility, sitting in a chair and connected to various machines, but otherwise seems to be resting comfortably.
During Ernest's challenging medical journey, Crystal has reached out to fans, seeking 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 progress in terms of his health.
The writer expresses gratitude and acknowledges that none of their achievements would have been possible without the faith, prayers, and support of others. They thank everyone for being a part of their support system, for taking the time to pray for them, and for being a part of God's army. The writer emphasizes that they are eternally grateful for all of this.
Additionally, she mentions that Ernest has the privilege of being able to return home in order to recover following his time in the hospital.
