Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently underwent a surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were concerns that the surgery may not have been successful. However, a recent update from his wife Crystal reveals that as of Monday, Ernest has started experiencing significant improvements in his health.
Crystal expresses on Facebook that she cannot find any logical reason for the positive changes in her situation, except for attributing it to a higher power, God. She reflects on how one day they were struggling to have a successful dialysis treatment for three weeks, but suddenly the next day it became possible. She also mentions that they were dealing with more severe circumstances at one point, but the following day, those concerns were no longer as pressing. Furthermore, Crystal highlights the contrast between feeling uncertain about the future on one day, and the next day feeling optimistic and assured that the future holds promise.
Crystal expresses that God is capable of achieving things that we, as humans, cannot. She further comments that God has indeed accomplished something incredible. Additionally, Crystal shares a picture of Ernest, who seems to be recovering while sitting in a chair at a medical facility. He is connected to various machines but seems to be at ease and resting comfortably.
During Ernest's medical journey, Crystal has reached out to fans for their support and prayers in hopes of aiding her husband's recovery. In her most recent update, she emphasizes the significant role that prayer has played in Ernest's progress towards better health.
