A Becoming-Famous Trisomy 18 child: Bella Santorum

Living outside the U.S. makes it more challenging to follow any U.S. political campaign, be it a Primary Election or a National Election.

Recently I´ve become quite interested in the Republican Primary Election because of  Rick Santorum, a candidate who caught my eye because his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, has the same syndrome that our baby has been diagnosed with. Of course, I don´t think that our story will turn out just like theirs...but it is interesting to see how Bella continues to defy the odds and keeps living more weeks, more months, more years than expected.

She was admitted to the hospital this past weekend with pneumonia, which can be deadly for a Trisomy 18 patient. Please pray for her and her family as they monitor her situation.

Below is a campaign video from Rick Santorum where he talks about his family and about Bella and her health situation.
