It is quite an overwhelming responsibility. "Do you remember the day you bring home your firstborn, and you've been planning for nine months, you get home and think 'what the heck do we do now?' Completely overwhelming and wonderful." Derek was left in a coma for months after being ravaged by coronavirus complications that caused his organs to shut down.
