Little People, Big World star has had a "scary 72 hours" after undergoing emergency brain surgery, his wife has revealed.
The TV personality, 32, had to undergo a shunt revision procedure, with wife Tori Roloff taking to social media to update his fans with a number of photos from his bedside in hospital.
The images showed Zach with a bandage wrapped around his head and a number of wires attached to his chest. A second photo seemed to show Zach in good spirits as he shot a thumbs up in the direction of the camera.
Describing what had gone on to her Instagram followers, Tori wrote: "Not exactly how we saw our week going… Zachary had emergency shunt revision this morning. It's been a scary 72 hours but he is doing well and recovering!!"

She went on to praise Zach's mum Amy for her help with the couple's three kids, before saying she's hopeful the surgery will help relieve Zach's migraines.
'You're a freaking bad a**, Zach," Tori said. "You just had brain surgery… and handled it like a rockstar. I'm so proud of you."
Amy also addressed the situation on her social media pages. She took to her account to apologise for cancelling a livestream she had planned so she could help the family in their time of need.
"'You have to rise to the occasion and I was happy to be able to for Zach and Tori," she told her followers.
