Prayers for Bella and the whole Santorum family. Such heartbreak, but also such love....

God Bless their family and please grant Bella improved health, from her dire condition.

Children's Hospital is terrific. I'm sure she'll receive good treatment there.

Prayers up for Bella.

As a father of a daughter myself, I can imagine what he's going through. God grant him strength and peace of mind.

For those who may not know, little Bella suffers from a genetic condition called "Trisomy 18":
Trisomy 18 (T18) (also known as Trisomy E or Edwards syndrome) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. (Wikipedia)
It's a condition similar in some respects to Down's Syndrome, but is generally much more serious. Bella was not expected to live more than a few days or weeks, but she is now 3-1/2 years old.

Any illness she has is magnified by the condition. She may be in very dire straits.

Please God, help this child.

Heavenly Father, watch with us over your child Bella, and grant that she may be restored to that perfect health which it is yours alone to give; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
