Santorum takes day off for ailing child

Rick Santorum is planning to spend today off the campaign trail to be with his youngest daughter, Bella.

"The entire Santorum family is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of prayers and support," said Hogan Gidley, Santorum's communications director.

It is the second time that Santorum has come off the trail to deal with Bella's health. The former Pennsylvania has talked about how his daughter wasn't given much chance to live past her first birthday.
