You may have heard that Rick Santorum left the campaign trail this weekend. You may also have heard that his daughter was admitted to the hospital. What you might not know is that she is a special needs child who is reportedly suffering from a birth condition known as Trisomy 18.
Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder where a child is born with three copies of material from chromosome 18 instead of the usual two. Few children survive past the first week of life. Those who do survive suffer from a number of very serious complications.
You can read more about this condition HERE. We should pray for his family.
