Loretta Lynn's family recently shared an update on her son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who underwent surgery to treat his kidney failure. Unfortunately, the initial outcomes of the procedure were not as positive as anticipated by the medical team.
On Thursday, Ernest's spouse Crystal, who initially shared information on Facebook, gave an update. This update came a few days after Ernest had the surgery. Crystal had mentioned earlier that this was the day when doctors would provide more details about the outcome of the operation.
In her update, she expressed that the day did not go as expected, but they remain determined and hopeful. They firmly believe that the operation will be successful and that their needs will be met by the Lord. They kindly request prayers for the new device to begin functioning tomorrow morning. Their faith in God and the strength of prayer is unwavering, and they are grateful for the ongoing support, prayers, and friendship.
Crystal has not provided any further official information about Ernest as of Sunday. However, she has used social media to inform fans that the family is still keeping him in their prayers. Crystal also uploaded a collection of pictures featuring Ernest, some of which seem to have been captured during his time in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has survived the passing of two of her children, who she had with her late husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. Her oldest daughter, Betty Sue, sadly passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. Additionally, 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, in her residence located in Hurricane Mills at the age of 90. Throughout her life, she established herself as a prominent figure in country music and held the record for being the female country artist with the most accolades.
