Hayley Erbert's surgery to replace part of her skull was a success, her husband Derek Hough said.

"With immense relief, gratitude and overwhelming joy I'd like to share that Hayley's cranioplasty surgery has been successfully completed as planned," the Dancing with the Stars judge said in a Instagram post, which included a photo of him bending down to stare at Erbert from the rail of her hospital bed. Erbert, who had suffered a brain bleed weeks prior, was not shown in the picture.
