Disclaimer, this video belongs to the Disney DWTS team, someone just needed to upload their journey for all to see! Season 33 of Hayley and Derek's journey back to dancing and the amazing miraculous recovery.
my brother went through something similar, a brain aneurysm, and miraculously survived. were told he would never walk or talk again...but seeing him now, you would never know. life is precious. kiss and hug the ones you love... and tell them!!! 💕
So did mine. He had a AVM & went a little over a month with his bone flap out, pt ot & we had to sit with him all day till night nurses were there. It was in his frontal lobe where impuls control is & what moves your right side. The emt narcaned him 2x’s once at home & in ambulance. My hubs & my mom went back & forth from me in waiting room to my hubs saying we need to go! My mother & brother were life flighted to OHSU in Portland Or cause all the neuro surgons had maxed hours of surgery time. Portland was the only option. He made it thru what drs called a miracle & then at a follow up they told a month us & him he would be lucky to see 30! That only fuled his drive of fear at night not waking up & to live the most of each day. He was given 5-6 years & then became an angel! I wish more people would share. Its a life changing situation for him & us! You got a great blessing! Hug him tons! 🧡🌺🙏🏼🕊️😇💐🦋🧡
I would honestly be so terrified that something as strenuous as dancing like they do would trigger another bleed that I would probably sit my ass down and limit myself to waltzes and foxtrots at weddings, but that's because I'm an anxiety-ridden scaredy cat. This couple has tremendous love and faith in each other and it's so beautiful to see. I'm so glad she's not like me and that she wor😢 her way back, with his support, to the thing she loves doing the most. ❤
Derek and Hayley, your love for each other, (is truly a love story. You found each other and it was meant to be). Yes Hayley, Derek is your rock. The rock that builds the foundation of a loving and lasting marriage. Derek, I can’t imagine what you felt. When the doctors told you; that Hayley might not make it through the surgery; or she might not be the same. If she survived the surgery. Hayley, I am so proud of you; you proved the doctors wrong( you are better than ever). Through your determination and your willingness to recover. The power and the love of God, brought you back to be with Derek.
I also sobbed I can understand what Hayley went through being a seizure suffer myself and also having many Brian operations. Thank you for sharing this part of your life.
I had Brain Surgery many years ago,I had a Brain Aneurysm Rupture.what it takes to become stronger and function again, it takes everything you have,the love and support of loved ones is crucial in recovery.I am so happy to see you bloom again.I wish you all the best.
What I love about this is that this is really the first time, that I recall, that we’ve “talked” to Hayley. As far as I can remember, Hayley has mostly been in the background. She’s made some appearances on the show, we know she’s Derek’s significant other, but this is the first time we’ve gotten to know her. And after such an earth-shaking event; this makes me wanna happy-cry. 🥲
Thank you so much for uploading this to YT! I got to see the dance and after dance speeches, but stupidly forgot to switch back to the channel that DWTS is on in my city. I came back just in time to see the start of the dance.
When I was born, I was born with two different conditions. I was born with Cerebral Palsy which affects my legs but, i was also born with hydrocephalus which is in layman's terms "water on the brain" and have a shunt which helps that. The reason I bring that up is because for me and others with Hydrocephalus, we have very bad migraine type headache which can go out at anytime and sometime we get seidures (sp?) i almost died many times with that. Hayley is a very brave woman, and fought back from that. God bless you Hayley and Derek!!!!
@@Mr.R080t.That’s very rude of you to say. Believe me, it’s more powerful then you think.It doesn’t have to be a prayer to God, just to something or someone bigger than you, something that gives you hope. I hope you‘ll never have to experience something like this. Wish you all the best❤️
