Derek Hough’s wife Hayley Erbert, 29, suffered a medical emergency Wednesday night in Washington, D.C.
Hough revealed on Instagram, “At the end of last night’s tour performance in Washington D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniotomy. She is in stable condition.”
According to Cedars-Sinai, “A craniectomy is a type of surgery to remove a portion of your skull. This helps relieve extra pressure on your brain.”
