Rick Santorum's 3-Year-Old Daughter Hospitalized

Rick Santorum's 3-year-old daughter Bella has had a history of health problems.

She was just recently taken to the hospital.

A spokesperson for the family said:

"Rick and his wife Karen have taken their daughter Bella to the hospital. The family requests prayers and privacy as Bella works her way to recovery."

Bella has Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder.

Rick already had to take time off from his presidential campaign in January when she was sick with pneumonia.

Santorum once said:

"Life expectancy wasn't particularly long, and just the idea of going off and doing something like this was something I really struggled with."

He wanted to become president so he could make the country a free, safe and prosperous place for all of his children.

We wish her nothing but the best and a speedy, full recovery.
