Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert are feeling grateful. On Thursday, the Dancing with the Stars judge shared an Instagram photo of himself by his wife's hospital bed with the caption, "With immense relief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy, I'd like to share that Hayley's cranioplasty surgery has been successfully completed as planned." The surgery included a partial skull replacement.
The dancer went on to thank his and Erbert's fans for their messages of support, as well as the medical team caring for his wife. The update comes after Hough shared on December 7 that Erbert had suffered a "cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel" and had needed a craniectomy. The following day, Hough shared a post praising his wife's "resilience," adding that she was "now on the long road of recovery."
