Derek Hough has posted an update on his wife Hayley Erbert‘s condition via Instagram.
“Hayley has always inspired me with her will, her strength, and her resilience and no more so than in the last 48 hrs,” he said. “Words cannot express how grateful and thankful we are for the support and love that you have given us.”
He added, “The offers of assistance that have poured in have been so humbling and appreciated,” the “Dancing with the Stars” judge concluded. “Our hope is that as a family, we can somehow and someway pay it forward.”
Hayley Erbert, the dancer and wife of Dancing With The Stars judge Derek Hough, underwent an emergency craniectomy after experiencing symptoms while on a dance tour with her husband.
In an Instagram post Thursday, Hough revealed that his wife of only three months “became disoriented and was taken to the hospital” while on their Symphony of Dance tour. A craniectomy is a type of surgery to remove a portion of the skull to help relieve extra pressure on the brain.
