Little People, Big World stars Tori Roloff and Zach Roloff just opened up about the latter’s recent health scare, and Tori had some harsh words for her husband along the way. Little People, Big World season 25 premieres on February 20, and there is expected to be plenty of drama in every episode. Cameras captured Zach’s health issues, as seen in a recent trailer. He had to undergo emergency shunt surgery, which finally occurred after he kept having migraines.

In the most recent episode of Zach and Tori Roloff‘s podcast, Raising Heights, the Little People, Big World couple opened up about Zach’s medical emergency that landed him in the hospital and how much it affected Tori.

Just after giving birth to Josiah, Zach checked out of the process of raising their baby because of his health issues. “You were like the deadbeat dad” the night he went to the hospital to get medicine, Tori explained. “I just remember a nurse coming into my room that night and [I was] just sobbing and I couldn’t just tell this woman why my husband wasn’t there. It was just awful.”

After Zach’s situation didn’t show any signs of improving, he eventually had to have emergency surgery. Ultimately, everything went well, but at the time, there were a lot of worries in the family over whether Zach would survive. Some of those concerns came from Tori and Zach’s own children. Jackson, their firstborn, asked Tori at one point, “Is dad gonna go to heaven? Is he gonna be with Papa?” That was really hard for Tori to have to deal with as she explained, “We kept saying he’s sick like we did with Papa, and so he did have this moment of ‘I’m gonna lose my dad.’ And that was heartbreaking.”
