LITTLE People, Big World’s Tori Roloff has given an update on her son Jackson’s recovery after a major surgery to correct the bowing in his legs.
According to the reality star mom, the 5-year-old is making major progress.
As part of a Q & A she took part in on Instagram, Tori was asked: “How’s Jackson doing after his surgery?”
“Dude is killin it,” the 31-year-old replied, sharing a photo of the smiling little boy learning to ride his bicycle. “I would say he’s back to ‘normal.’“
But the road back isn’t set in stone yet.
“We won’t know how successful the surgery was for a couple of years,” Tori continued. “As it’s something that happens slowly and over time.”

Last December, She explained her son “had surgery to help correct the bowing in his legs.”
The LPBW star shared: “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!”
HEALING UPDATE
A month later, she gave another update.
“In a post on her Instagram Stories explaining the procedure, Tori said: “He had plates put on his growth plates. Nothing changed immediately.
“As his legs grow, they will hopefully straighten, and we will avoid a more invasive surgery.”
The star continued: “He has been overcompensating while walking to avoid his shoes touching his ‘boo boos,’ which is why they look more bowed, however they aren’t changed and he’s not in any pain.
“We’re hoping over the next five to six years, the pigeon toe and the bowing will be gone.”
The TLC star is also mother to 2-year-old daughter Lilah, and newborn Josiah with husband Zach.
BIRTHDAY BOY
Jackson was all smiles earlier last month, as he celebrated his fifth birthday.
The mother of three shared several photos on her Instagram feed to commemorate the occasion.
She wrote: “Since Josiah made his way into the world a little earlier than expected, Jackson’s party got postponed! But honestly kind of glad it did because we couldn’t have had better weather, and baby brother was here to party too!
“I hardly took any photos, but Jackson felt so loved and celebrated today and it was so fun watching him with all his friends!
