Loretta Lynn's family recently shared news about her son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who is 69 years old. He had to undergo surgery due to kidney failure. However, the initial results of the procedure suggest that the operation did not yield the desired outcome according to the doctors' expectations.
Crystal, the wife of Ernest, shared an update with fans on Thursday (Jan. 25), a few days after his surgery. Initially, Crystal had shared details on Facebook and mentioned that this would be the day when the doctors would provide more information about the outcome of the surgery.
In her update, she expressed her disappointment with how the day has gone so far. However, she remains determined and refuses to give up. She firmly believes that the operation will be successful and that the Lord will provide for their needs. She kindly requests that others pray specifically for the new device to start working tomorrow morning. She has unwavering faith in God and the power of prayer, and sincerely appreciates the ongoing support, care, and friendship of others.
Crystal has not given any new official updates on Ernest since Sunday, but she has used social media to inform fans that her family is still praying for her husband. She also uploaded a collection of photos featuring Ernest, some of which seem to have been taken while he was in the hospital.
Loretta Lynn has survived two of her children who she had with her late husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. The first child was their oldest daughter Betty Sue, who passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. The second child was their oldest son Jack Benny, who tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on the family's property in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
Lynn, the renowned country music icon, passed away on October 4, 2022, at her residence in Hurricane Mills, at the age of 90. Throughout her life, she achieved an extraordinary status as one of the greatest legends in country music and held the record for being the most decorated female country artist of all time.
