Santorum Resumes Campaign, Says Daughter Had ‘Miraculous Turnaround’

Says 3-year-old daughter had ‘miraculous turnaround.’

Saying his 3-year-old daughter Isabella had a “miraculous turnaround,” Rick Santorum pledged to return to the campaign trail Monday. Santorum had cleared his Sunday schedule to be with his daughter, who suffers from the genetic disorder Trisomy 18 and who was diagnosed as having pneumonia in both her lungs. “She went through a very tough time in the past 48 hours and this afternoon, she really made a remarkable turn,” Santorum said Sunday night in a televised Town Hall. Santorum will be skipping over Florida and instead heading over to Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado and Nevada, all of which will hold caucuses at the beginning of February. He said Isabella will remain hospitalized in intensive care, but doctors are encouraged by her improvement.
