Derek Hough, Hayley’s spouse, was by her side for weeks after she had a medical emergency and was told she had a cranial hematoma.
The “Dancing with the Stars” judge shared an update with his social media followers about Hayley’s ongoing recovery efforts following a skull implant surgery. Earlier this month, Hayley was hospitalized and required immediate brain surgery.
“I would like to share that Hayley’s cranioplasty surgery has gone as planned and with a great deal of relief, gratitude, and overwhelming joy,” he posted to Instagram.
“My sincere appreciation goes to the exceptional medical team. Their expertise and steady hands were pivotal in this journey, ensuring a smooth and successful surgery. Especially Dr. Mai who not only performed the surgery but was also the one who saved her life 2 weeks ago.”
The “outpouring of support and prayers” from friends, family, and fans overwhelmed the professional dancer with gratitude.
