Loretta Lynn's family recently shared an update on the condition of her son, Ernest Ray Lynn, who is 69 years old. He had to undergo surgery to treat his kidney failure. However, the initial outcomes of the procedure suggest that it did not go as well as the doctors had anticipated.
Crystal, the wife of Ernest, shared an update with fans on Thursday, a few days after his surgery. Initially, she had mentioned on Facebook that the doctors would provide more information about the success of the surgery on that day.
In her update, she expressed that the day did not go as expected, but they are not losing hope. They strongly believe that the operation will be successful and that their needs will be fulfilled by the Lord. They kindly request prayers for the new device to begin functioning tomorrow morning. They have faith in God, the power 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 did take to social media to inform fans that they are still praying for her husband. She also shared a collection of photos of 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 deceased husband, Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn. The first was their oldest daughter, Betty Sue, who passed away in 2013 due to complications from emphysema. The second was their oldest son, Jack Benny, who tragically drowned in 1984 while trying to cross a river on their family 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 established herself as one of the most influential figures in country music and held the record for the highest number of awards received by a female country artist.
