Ernest, the son of Loretta Lynn, recently had a life-saving surgery to treat his kidney failure. Initially, there were doubts about the success of the surgery. However, his wife Crystal shared an update on Monday (Jan. 29) stating that Ernest's health has shown significant improvements.
Crystal wrote on Facebook that she cannot find any explanation for the sudden positive turn of events other than attributing it to God. She mentions how one day they were unable to achieve successful dialysis for three consecutive weeks, but then the next day they were able to. Similarly, she describes how they were facing more severe circumstances on one day, but the next day those circumstances had improved. Crystal also mentions how uncertain they were about the future on one day, but suddenly gained confidence that the future holds brightness.
Crystal expresses that God is capable of accomplishing things that we are unable to do, and she confirms that He has indeed achieved it. Additionally, Crystal shares a picture of Ernest recovering in a medical facility, sitting in a chair and connected to machines, yet seeming to be at ease and resting comfortably.
During the difficult time of Ernest's medical situation, Crystal has reached out to fans 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 improved health.
