I believe Rick said that Bella was home now, having passed her crisis this time. Her illness is genetic and relative to a healthy baby, she had been frequently hospitalized before he entered the race.
It was touch and go when they first brought her home (as an infant) but she had been doing remarkably well and is now three....
....but has suffered these 2 bouts of pnemonia in less than 3 months.....
He didn't enter the race expecting her illness to worsen, I'm sure of it.
You Newt people just can't help yourselves, can you.....everything has to fit your 'Santorum is the enemy' grid.
