Little People’s Tori & Zach Roloff break down as son Jackson, 4, is rushed to hospital for surgery in medical emergency
SEASON 23 of Little People Big World has plenty of drama as a preview shows a scary moment for Tori and Zach Roloff involving their eldest child.
The reality star’s two children, Jackson, four, and Lilah, two – were born with dwarfism.
Their son has struggled particularly with the genetic condition as the pair voiced their concerns over his “bowing legs.”
Zach and Tori expressed their fears for the tot in the trailer as the TV star pointed out his son’s noticeably curved legs.
“Just looking at his legs now, I’m like, what the heck, they’re so bowed,” Zach told his wife as the toddler walked on the couch.
The clip then flashes to the father-son duo in the car, where Jackson tells the camera they’re on their way to the hospital.

The couple explained that the visit was for Jackson to undergo “leg surgery.”
Tori and Zach admitted their nerves about their firstborn going under the knife as the father-of-two said: “Just that roller coaster of like, uh-oh, what’s going to happen?”
The clip captures a smiling Jackson waving as he’s being wheeled into surgery while his mother looks apprehensive in the waiting room.
In December, Tori revealed her little boy was getting a procedure done in an Instagram post.

The pregnant star shared a pic of Jackson sleeping in a hospital bed with a stuffed animal resting next to him.
The Little People, Big World star shared that Jackson had surgery in the caption, writing: “Our sweet Jackson had surgery today to help correct the bowing in his legs.
“This kid time and time again blows us away. He was so brave and confident. He made @zroloff07 and I so proud as he talked with the doctors and nurses and was wheeled away without worry.”
The proud mom continued: “Today has been one of the hardest days I’ve ever had. Watching your child in pain is never something a parent wants to go through. However, we are trusting his doctors and our Lord that this was the best decision for him.
“Love you baby j! Let’s go home and make popcorn!”
The caption concluded with Tori telling her fans about Jackson’s stuffed animal, writing: “That ‘my pal bunny’ never left this kids side and he ate more popsicles today than I think he’s eaten in his life.”
TENSIONS RUN HIGH
There is even more drama in the show’s new season as tension rises between Zach and his father, Matt Roloff.
“The temperature is still pretty high between my dad and me and Caryn,” Zach explained in the trailer as he and his family walked onto the farm.
“After the farm deal fell apart, there has been some tension between us,” Matt said.
Zach then tells his dad they might try to find Jackson and then head out.
Tori chimed in, saying, “I was extremely uncomfortable. You know I just didn’t want to be there at all.”
“We tried to give them a little bit of our attention, but they were shut down,” Matt ended the clip.
