Despite her over zealous remarks about a prompt return to Dancing with the Stars, Julianne Hough‘s brother Derek says she will not be returning next week.

“[She's] probably not going to be back next week. Even if she wanted to — and she does want to — we’re not gonna let her. We’re gonna make sure she’s in bed,” Hough told Entertainment Tonight after Dancing with the Stars’ Monday night performance show.

Hough said that one of the reasons for delaying her comeback was to allow her more time to rest before resuming the stresses that come with dancing on a regular basis. However, he added that her recovery has been moving along well and that she has progressed to the point where she is no longer bed-ridden.

“She’s getting better. The first couple days after the surgery were a nightmare, she was in a lot of pain. But she’s a fighter, [she's] up and about. I’ve seen her and she’s getting a lot better,” Hough told ET.� Hough’s celebrity partner Cody Linley told ET that he had visited her and, while acknowledging that she wasn’t quite her usual “chipper self” due to her recovery, said that she was healing well.

We all wish her a quick recovery!
