Zach and Tori Roloff Updates on Lilah’s Sleep Study
Zach and Tori Roloff recently shared the latest update on their 4-year-old daughter Lilah’s health. The ‘Little People, Big World’ couple revealed that Lilah has been diagnosed with a moderate form of sleep apnea, a condition that can interrupt breathing during sleep.
Importance of Sleep Study for Lilah
During a recent episode of the TLC show, Zach explained that Lilah’s test results showed she has moderate sleep apnea. Tori added that Lilah may need her tonsils removed, after which the apnea is expected to resolve. The Roloffs decided to have Lilah undergo a sleep study as a precautionary measure to ensure her sleep and any potential future procedures would be safe.
Considerations for Individuals with Dwarfism
Tori mentioned that individuals with dwarfism, like their daughter Lilah, are recommended to have a sleep study to rule out obstructive sleep apnea. Zach also highlighted the importance of ensuring Lilah’s safety during anesthesia, particularly due to the unique airway structure in individuals with dwarfism.
Preparing Lilah for the Sleep Study
Initially, Zach and Tori were concerned about how Lilah would handle the sleep study. Zach spent time preparing Lilah for the experience to alleviate her fears. Fortunately, Lilah cooperated well during the study, much to her parents’ relief. Zach expressed pride in Lilah’s behavior during the study, noting that she did not disturb any equipment.
Final Season Announcement
Earlier, Zach and Tori announced that the current season of ‘Little People, Big World’ would be their last. They shared insights on their decision during their podcast, ‘Raising Heights,’ citing various reasons for concluding this chapter in their lives. The couple expressed that the past year had been challenging, leading them to step back from the show.
