Many dancers sustain injuries while on tour, but few end up in situations quite like Hayley Erbert Hough’s. Although the dancer seems to be in stable condition right now, fans are waiting with bated breath for news and updates on her condition.

Today, Derek Hough shared an update and continued to ask for positive thoughts and prayers for his family. What exactly did he have to say?

Derek Hough stopped his tour to care for his wife Hayley

Hayley Erbert Hough was rushed to a hospital in Washington D.C. the night of December 6 following a performance on her husband’s tour. And that’s where the couple has been ever since. Physicians diagnosed Hayley with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel that required urgent attention.

Effective immediately, Derek postponed the remainder of his tour to care for Hayley during this terrifying chapter.

As Hayley recovers, Derek has been updating the public through his social media channels. He recently shared a short video of himself and Hayley going for a short walk in D.C. The video does not show their faces, but the pair appear visibly exhausted. Hayley also wears a helmet to protect her fragile skull.

Now, it appears that Hayley is going in for another skull surgery and will need all the positive vibes and well-wishes she can possibly get.
