WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (January 29, 2012)--Republican Rick Santorum was home Sunday in Philadelphia to be with this hospitalized daughter and has canceled campaign stops in Florida.
Santorum's campaign said the former senator will stay in Pennsylvania with 3-year-old Bella, who has a genetic condition known as Trisomy 18, which typically proves fatal.
Santorum often says his daughter wasn't expected to live past 12 months.
Spokesman Hogan Gidley says Santorum hopes to return to a campaign schedule soon.
Santorum canceled his appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" and a stop at a Miami church.
Santorum is sending his daughter Elizabeth, 20, to Sarasota and Punta Gorda for campaign appearances on later Sunday.
Florida's presidential primary is on Tuesday.
