29-year-old Erbert is going to require one more surgery that is scheduled for the upcoming weeks. Derek Hough explained that will involve the implantation of a skull. He further detailed that the new implant would be a replacement for the skull component that had to be removed as part of the craniectomy. Hough wrote that the second surgery sought to restore his wife’s skull to its natural shape and let it perform the function of preventing the brain from getting injured.
Derek Hough, the popular personality on TV, gave his gratitude to his fans and followers for their continuing support.
