Little People, Big World's Tori Roloff Shares Son's Huge Health News

Tori Roloff just revealed some big news about her son Josiah. The star sat down for an interview with Us Weekly, confirming that doctors diagnosed Josiah with achondroplasia, the same condition as her other children have. But, the reality star is making a point to say that the condition does not define her son as a person. "He's Josiah. He has achondroplasia, but he's not, like, Josiah the achondroplasia," she shared. "Just like I'm Tori, I have brown hair. I'm not a brunette — like, that's not how I would classify myself." 

Tori said that the diagnosis didn't come as much of a surprise to her and her husband, Zach Roloff, especially since it's "so normal" in their family. "We have so many resources and there's a lot of parents out there who don't have the same resources and ... don't have the same confidence in everything that Zach and I do," she continued. She also vowed to be an advocate for those with dwarfism and her kids. 

According to In Touch Weekly, the star addressed the possibility of Josiah being a dwarf ahead of his birth in an Instagram Q&A. "We won't know if he or she is a dwarf until further into pregnancy. And with dwarves it's encouraged to have a [C-section] because of bigger head size," she shared, but added that she would "love" if she didn't have to know. We wish the sweet family all the best!
