Julianne Hough expresses gratitude in the midst of family crisis
Julianne Hough, 35, took to Instagram to share her gratitude for her family during this challenging holiday season. Alongside a series of photos, one of which showed her hugging her sister-in-law, she expressed the importance of holding her loved ones extra tight.
Hayley Erbert’s medical emergency
Derek Hough, Hayley’s husband, has been by her side throughout her severe medical condition. On December 7, he revealed that Hayley, a “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer, experienced disorientation after performing and had to be hospitalized. She was then diagnosed with a cranial hematoma that required emergency craniectomy.
Successful cranioplasty surgery
In an update to his followers, Derek shared the news of Hayley’s successful cranioplasty surgery. Expressing relief and gratitude, he thanked the medical team for their expertise and steady hands, especially Dr. Mai, who not only performed the surgery but also saved her life two weeks prior.
Gratitude for support and prayers
Hayley and Derek were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and prayers from friends, family, and fans. They expressed their gratitude for the strength and comfort they received during this challenging time.
Replacing a portion of her skull
The cranioplasty surgery was necessary to replace a large portion of Hayley’s skull that had been removed during her craniectomy. It is a crucial step in her ongoing recovery.
Hayley Erbert and Derek Hough got married in August and were on their “Symphony of Dance” tour when the medical emergency occurred. The couple started dating in 2015 after meeting on “Dancing with the Stars” and got engaged in Yosemite National Park in California in 2022.
