Trisomy 18 genetic disease, which was the GOP candidate Rick Santorum 3-year-old daughter to the hospital this weekend. Today, Bella Santorum returns home, and her father takes a while this morning to help him decide.
Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is caused by chromosomal abnormalities. It occurs in about 1 of every 3,000 newborns. In Trisomy 18 Foundation, the problems caused by trisomy 18 are associated with complications that are more threatening in the first months and years to life. Half of the children carried out in the future will be stillborn. Only 10 percent survive their first birthday. But a small number of adults, usually women, with trisomy 18 live in the twenties and thirties.
Rick Santorum did not campaign on Monday, so that he could be with Bella in the hospital. Santorum had five days to celebrate Easter and spend time with his daughter. Santorum said in the past about how trisomy 18 has affected his family, and they do not expect Bell to survive the first year of his life. Cold can provide close to death.
But studies have shown that children are more and more people live to old age, such as Bella Santorum. A study published by Dr. Chris Feudtner, more than one third of hospitalizations for trisomy 18, trisomy 13 and are closely related in the last 15 years have been for children over one year. In more than 10 percent of cases, the child is 8 years.
Santorum canceled the first two campaign speeches scheduled for Tuesday morning, but added a stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the afternoon. On Tuesday night, Santorum will travel to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to "talk about the values of faith, family and the American," as he called it a campaign.
How Santorums fought a fierce struggle for survival against trisomy 18, Rick Santorum promises to bring that same sense in the fight for the nomination of the Republican Party.
Mitt Romney is much more Santorum in the race, and he even told Mike Huckabee on his radio show: "It's a bit difficult for those who get the delegates to give it to me at this moment, it seems quite right."
