In a statement to the press, Rick Santorum’s communications director, Hogan Gidley, says, “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.”

Santorum’s three-year-old daughter Isabella suffers from a chromosomal disorder known as Trisomy 18. In January, Santorum canceled several campaign events after she was admitted to a Philadelphia hospital.
