Loretta Lynn's son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who is 69 years old, recently underwent surgery to treat his kidney failure. However, the initial outcome of the procedure suggests that it did not achieve the desired level of success as anticipated by the doctors.
Crystal, the wife of Ernest, shared an update with fans on Thursday (Jan. 25) regarding his recent operation. She had earlier mentioned on Facebook that this was the day when doctors would give more details on the outcome of the surgery.
In her update, she expressed that the day did not go as expected, but they are determined to persevere. They have complete faith and confidence that the operation will be successful and that their needs will be met by the Lord. They kindly request specific prayers for the device to start working for them the following morning. They firmly believe in God and the strength of prayer, and are grateful for the ongoing prayers, support, and friendship.
As of Sunday, Crystal has not provided any new official information about Ernest. However, she has taken to social media to inform fans that they are still praying for her husband. Additionally, she has shared a collection of photos of Ernest, some of which seem to have been taken while he was in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has experienced the heartbreaking loss of two of her children, who she had with her late husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Her eldest daughter, Betty Sue, passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. Similarly, her eldest son, Jack Benny, tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on the Lynn family's property in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
Lynn passed away on October 4, 2022, at her residence in Hurricane Mills at the age of 90. Throughout her life, she achieved an esteemed status as one of the greatest icons in country music, earning the highest number of accolades among female country artists.
