FALLON, Nev. - Rick Santorum says his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, is home from the hospital after a bout with pneumonia.
Santorum told reporters that his daughter left the hospital on Thursday and is back at her Virginia home. Santorum took a break from campaigning last weekend to rush home to be with his ailing daughter.
Bella Santorum has genetic disorder Trisomy 18, which her father often describes to audiences as "incompatible with life." Any health issues can prove fatal for the youngster.
