Overview

• Derek Hough's wife, Hayley Erbert, has undergone two surgeries this month after being diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel.
• The first surgery, an emergency craniectomy, was performed to stop the bleeding in her brain.
• A second surgery, a cranioplasty, was carried out to replace a portion of her skull that was removed during the initial procedure.
• Erbert has since returned home and is recovering, with Hough sharing updates on her condition via social media.
• The couple celebrated their first Christmas as newlyweds amid Erbert's recovery, expressing gratitude for the 'precious gift of life.'
