AceShowbiz - Hayley Erbert has given an update on her health condition following her brain surgeries. Around two months after going under the knife, the wife of Derek Hough embraced her new look and head scar.
On Monday, February 5, the 29-year-old and her 38-year-old TV personality husband made use of their Instagram accounts to upload a video documenting them sharing an update with their fans. In the clip, she could be seen showing off her buzz cut and a scar on her head from the surgeries.
The clip documented Hayley and Derek sitting down close next to each other in what appeared to be their home. In the beginning of it, she said, "It has been quite the journey. There has been so much that has happened in two months, lots of emotions." He joined in, "It's been wild going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows."
The "Dancing with the Stars" judge went on to shower Hayley with praise, "But I have to say, throughout this experience this woman has been unbelievable and her perseverance and her acceptance of the whole situation, her strength, it's been remarkable to witness firsthand. She really is a miracle and it's been miraculous and it's still a journey."
Hayley then candidly shared, "To this day, I still have really good days and I have really bad days, emotionally and physically sometimes, but I'm doing so much better every single day. Truly there is so much progress every day and I'm so grateful for that."
In the same video, Hayley and Derek talked about her new appearance. While smiling from ear-to-ear, she stated, "A new haircut, a new scar, a new sac of fluid on the side of my face, which is supposed to eventually go away. A new skull. But also a new outlook on life." She added, "Life is so precious. Spend time with the ones you love. Hold them close cause you never know what could happen."
Last year, Derek announced Hayley's "cranial hematoma" diagnosis that required her to do an emergency brain surgery or "craniectomy." On December 15, 2023, he unveiled that she was set to do a second procedure, which was conducted on December 20, 2023. One day after the second surgery, Derek revealed that the procedure was successful and his wife was on "full recovery."
