“It’s the day after Jackson’s surgery and he’s gotta start taking steps with his walker. He’s been through a lot the last day. But we’ve gotta get him up, we’ve got to get him taking a few steps to get going again,” Zach says in a confessional.
Tori then assists her son with his walker and asks him to practice his steps as the doctor showed him.

After taking a small step, Jackson says, “I just want to get back to the couch.”
“We were optimistic about his maybe walking the next day but he wasn’t,” Zach adds in a later confessional. “I think there are a couple reasons why he doesn’t want to walk. Jackson’s still recovering, he’s still tired, very emotional day yesterday, a very emotional night. It could be pain, it could just be discomfort.”
Once Jackson is back on the couch, Tori reminds her son, “the faster that we start practicing walking, the stronger our legs get and the faster we get to do things.”
“I’m glad that you at least got up, we’ll try again later,” she tells Jackson.
In a November post onInstagram, Tori commended Jackson for being “so brave and confident” before his surgery.
“This kid time and time again blows us away. He was so brave and confident. He made@zroloff07and I so proud as he talked with the doctors and nurses and was wheeled away without worry,” she wrote.
“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,” Tori continued. “However, we are trusting his doctors and our Lord that this was the best decision for him.”
