Derek Hough, known for his appearances on “Dancing with the Stars,” recently took to Instagram to update fans on the status of his wife, Haley Erbert, who underwent emergency brain surgery this week.
Hough shared that Erbert is now on the long road to recovery after the life-changing operation. He expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support and love they have received during this difficult time.
Erbert, who also appears as a professional dancer on “Dancing with the Stars,” was rushed to the hospital after becoming disoriented at the couple’s show in Washington, D.C. The diagnosis revealed that she had a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel, which required an emergency craniectomy.
Following the surgery, Hough described the offers of assistance as humbling and appreciated. He expressed hope that the family could pay it forward in the future.
Although the couple did not disclose any recent incidents that could have led to the hematoma, they were involved in a scary car accident in the mountains last December.
Hough reassured that Erbert, who they recently married in August, is in stable condition, and he expressed positivity for her recovery.
The couple’s updates have received an outpouring of support from fans and the celebrity community. The news of Erbert’s health has prompted discussions about the importance of women’s health and the potential risks of head injuries.
As the couple navigates Erbert’s recovery, they are grateful for the kindness and well-wishes they have received from their supporters. The updates will continue to be shared on Hough’s social media platforms as Erbert continues her journey towards healing.
