All fans can breathe a sigh of relief for Loretta Lynn as her brother just went on the record to say that his country singer sibling is recovering just fine.

Lynn suffered from a stroke earlier this year, causing her to reschedule and cancel a good amount of shows in order to regain her health and strength after the sudden event. Her brother Herman Webb admitted that she has suffered a couple of setbacks, including immobility on the left side of her body, but that she’s getting better day by day to the best of her ability.

“She can talk, and Loretta told me that she thought she’s going to be okay,” Webb said to Closer Weekly. “Her left side was kind of paralyzed, but [she can get around by] herself now, she just has to use a walker.”

Although she’s been working hard in a rehab facility and hasn’t spoken out about the incident herself, Webb recently confirmed that Lynn was moving along just fine in her slow but steady recovery process.

“She seems to be coming along pretty good,” Webb revealed. “She’s doing really good — that’s the main thing!”

Loretta Lynn recently cancelled a few more shows on her schedule for the year, but her next shows are still set to be held at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on August 24 and 25. Fans can find out more information about her touring by heading over to her website.
