Bella Santorum Hospitalized Because of Pneumonia
Bella Santorum Hospitalized Because of Pneumonia
Jan 29, 2012 2:12pm The reason Bella Santorum was admitted to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Saturday night is because she has pneumonia in both of her lungs, a campaign aide told ABC News. The 3-year-old, who has the serious genetic disorder Trisomy 18, is not on a ventilator, though, which is a very good sign. The family has medical equipment in their Virginia home and because of the risk of infection in hospitals they try to keep her out unless it is absolutely necessary. She was in and out of hospitals the first year of her life, but since then — aside from besides being admitted for surgeries — she has not spent any time in the hospital before Saturday, Rick Santorum has said on the campaign trail. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/bella-santorum-hospitalized-because-of-pneumonia

13. Santorum says he's responsible for HSA's. Suspect his family has more than catastrophic insurance.

36. Is that his campaign button? The link doesn't say anything about it...

My heart goes out to that little girl. But I wouldn't like to see something in his campaign that exploits his child's situation.
Having said that, I wish the Santorum family the best with their child. It must be heartbreaking to see your child suffer so much...just awful...  |
