Derek Hough wife Hayley Erbert emergency surgery cranial hematoma

"Derek Hough's wife Hayley was hospitalized with a cranial hematoma. The couple's love story is featured in their dance tour."

After the conclusion of his recent tour performance in Washington, D.C., Derek Hough revealed that his wife, Hayley, was taken to the hospital after becoming disoriented. The diagnosis was a cranial hematoma, caused by a burst blood vessel, which required an emergency craniectomy. Fortunately, she is currently in stable condition.

An intracranial hematoma is a serious medical condition, involving a collection of blood within the skull, typically due to a ruptured blood vessel in the brain or trauma such as a car accident or fall. This can result in the blood collecting in the brain tissue or under the skull, putting pressure on the brain.

Hough expressed his gratitude to the first responders and medical staff who have been caring for his wife, and he requested prayers and positivity during this challenging time. The Symphony of Dance tour, which had a performance in Oxon Hill, Maryland, is currently scheduled to continue, with the next show planned for Thursday night at the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Support has poured in from fellow celebrities, including "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancer Emma Slater, who shared her thoughts and well-wishes for the couple. The show itself is a celebration of love, featuring intricate routines and a choreographed version of Derek and Hayley's wedding dance. The couple's love story began when they met on "DWTS," and they recently tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in a redwood forest.

Hough's publicist, Susan Madore, confirmed the wedding to People magazine, and the couple announced their engagement via joint Instagram posts. The outpouring of support and love from fans and fellow celebrities is a testament to the impact that Derek and Hayley have had on those around them. As they navigate this challenging time, their love and resilience continue to inspire.
