Tori Roloff and Zach Roloff are no longer cast members on Little People, Big World.
They announced this spring that they were leaving the series at the end from last season.
Fortunately, however, the beloved spouses haven’t stepped out of the spotlight entirely, as they are co-hosting a podcast currently titled Raising Heights.
In an episode that aired late last week, the Roloffs provided listeners with an update on their daughter.

“Her recovery has been great,” Zach said on air, referring to the fact that four-year-old Lilah recently had her tonsils and adenoids removed.
After wife Tori acknowledged how “grateful” she is for their child’s progress, Zach added about his son:
“She has been emotional, very emotional after waking up and at nap time. And clearly she’s taking advantage of it.
We’re sure he was joking with that last sentence.

Tori and Zach told fans in May that Lilah would need to undergo this procedure.
“I think we were both really nervous about how she was going to handle it and she’s been great,” Tori said on the podcast.
“We continued to take the medication pretty heavily because everyone thought, ‘They think they’re good and suddenly they’re not. Then continue with the medicine. But like we didn’t wake up in the middle of the night to do this.”
As a result of this surgery, Lilah no longer snores and is sleeping better at night than before.

In May, the former reality TV stars said their daughter would have to undergo this operation to improve the quality of her sleep, after she was diagnosed with a “moderate form of sleep apnea” following a sleep study.
“Her waking up from anesthesia is going to be difficult,” Zach shared at the time. “She surprised us, though, with her sleep study, she surprised us. They didn’t do anything on her sleep study.”
Zach and Tori are also parents to Jackson, 7, and Josiah, 2.
The youngest also did this same sleep study at the time, but at least he still doesn’t need any more tests or medical maneuvers.

Having been born with achondroplasia dwarfism – just like their father and paternal grandparents – all three children may face various health and/or physical problems in the future.
But Tori and Zach have always expressed how lucky they are that their kids are doing well so far.
“Dwarfism awareness has always been a very sensitive subject for me. I think I’ve made it my life’s goal to make sure our children don’t grow up being known as “dwarves.” Not because it’s offensive or because I’m afraid of the term, but because I’m afraid of our children being defined by it,” Tori wrote last year on Instagram.
Added the mother of three children at that time:
“I want to help ease the nervousness of this diagnosis and remind all parents that dwarfism does NOT define you or your child. God chose you to be his son. God chose you for the world. God chose you. Happy Dwarfism Awareness Day!”
