Dancing With The Stars fans have been waiting for news and updates on Derek Hough’s wife, Hayley. She went in for an emergency craniectomy on December 6 in Washington D.C.

Since then, Derek has provided a few updates on her health, including her second skull surgery. On Christmas Day, Hayley shared a short update of her own and expressed thankfulness and gratitude for her loved ones. She even attached a partial photo of herself to show that she’s on the mend.

Fans were relieved to see that Hayley is recovering and that the family enjoyed their holiday together. See the photo here.

Derek Hough dropped everything to be with Hayley

DWTS fans know that Derek Hough is an incredibly busy person. While judging Dancing With The Stars Season 32, he also went on tour with his wife Hayley. But he was more than willing to put all his plans on hold to care for Hayley in her time of need.

It’s not the Christmas season the Hough family envisioned, but everyone is thankful to see Hayley’s recovery process. She shared an update on social media on Christmas Day.

“Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! 🎄” Hayley captioned her Instagram post. “Cherishing the greatest gift of all. The precious gift of life and the love we share. Hold your loved ones close and treasure every moment. ♥️”

She attached a photo of herself and Derek hugging and kissing in front of their Christmas tree. This time, her face is partially visible. Up until now, Hayley opted to keep her face obscured from photos.

Hayley’s hair is tied up under a scarf. In all likelihood, her medical team probably had to shave quite a bit of her hair to successfully complete the surgery.

Plenty of the dancer’s loved ones added positive comments to the post and wished the couple well.

You are our Christmas miracle 🎄❤️” Derek’s sister Julianne Hough wrote

“A true Christmas miracle! Nothing but love and happiness to you guys! ❤️❤️❤️” Maks Chmerkovskiy added.

Family comes first for the Houghs

Derek and Julianne Hough are pretty well-known faces for Disney fans. That’s why many were concerned about whether or not the Disney Christmas Day Parade could continue as scheduled. Luckily, the studios opted to tape the parade well in advance.

The show aired as scheduled while allowing Derek to be with Hayley during Christmas. Hopefully next year, Hayley’s health scare will be long behind them and they can enjoy the holidays without any other serious emergencies.
