The Little People, Big World actor wrote, “Last week was a bit rough,” while posing in a hospital bed. ”.
Fans of Matt Roloff are receiving an update on his recent health scare.
The actor from Little People, Big World uploaded a photo of himself dozing in a hospital bed on Monday to Instagram. The 61-year-old revealed that although he was beaming in the photo, complications from a routine treatment delayed his recovery.
Last week was a little difficult, the reality star wrote in the caption. To examine my esophagus, I underwent what I thought to be a routine upper endoscopy. Things don’t go as planned when the doctor tells [fiancée Caryn Chandler] that “We had some complications.”. “It appears that my stomach undergoes some unexpected twists and turns. ”.
The Mayo Clinic describes an upper endoscopy as a procedure that uses a tiny camera at the end of a long, flexible tube to visually examine your upper digestive tract. It is frequently employed to recognize and sporadically handle conditions that affect the upper digestive tract.
Roloff explained that the issue now requires that he receive additional medical care, but he did not elaborate on what that entails.
The good news is that work still needs to be done, but the bad news is that the computer chip and monitor installation wasn’t necessary. The worst news is that I had to keep quiet for a few days and stop working,” he continued.
In addition to being the patriarch of Little People, Big World recently experienced a health crisis.
Zach Roloff was getting ready for a shunt revision, which he described as an “important” procedure, he revealed on Instagram in February, according to the post.
A shunt, according to John Hopkins Medicine, is a hollow tube that is surgically implanted in the brain or occasionally in the spine to help drain cerebrospinal fluid and direct it to another site in the body where it can be reabsorbed.
Although the family withheld information about the procedure, a shunt revision may ease pressure on the brain and treat symptoms like difficulty walking, mild dementia, and loss of bladder control.
“Family has been in touch and communicating frequently. Zach is having a significant shunt revision, and we are all praying for him, Matt wrote in the caption of the photo. Please join me in praying for Zach’s complete recovery. Tori is fighting valiantly for his interests, so he is in good hands”.
