Senate Candidate Fiorina in Hospital for Infection

(AP) — California GOP Senate challenger Carly Fiorina is in the hospital to be treated for an infection associated with her reconstructive surgery after breast cancer.

Deborah Bowker, the campaign’s chief of staff, says in a statement issued Tuesday that Fiorina was admitted to a hospital and is being treated with antibiotics. The campaign will not say when or where she was admitted.

Fiorina, who is 56, fought breast cancer before her run against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. The former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO has maintained a busy campaign schedule in the final weeks of the race.

Bowker says Fiorina has canceled Tuesday campaign events in Riverside and Coachella. She says she expects Fiorina to return to the campaign trail soon.

Editor’s note: A few months ago Fiorina talked with CBN’s David Brody about her fight with breast cancer and why it has been a “blessing”:

    Our prayers go out to you. Please be well, we need you the entire nation needs you. And I agree with those who have mentioned BB, I pray for her too, that she does not stoop to the level of using any unfortunate circumstances to further her campaign. My CA ballot is already filled out anyway.

      God please sustain her and heal her in this time of need, and extend the blessings to her family who also seek solice and comfort from above. Let the healing be quick, and whole. Sustain her and let all ask for a speedy and total recovery soon.

      If God is on our side why didn’t he keep this from happening in the first place? Let’s hold God to a higher standard. Maybe with some pressure we will get something in return.

      Hey RFYCOM,

      God gave us free will so that we could be his companions. To do otherwise would have been to make us slaves. It is OUR choice, on aggregate, that makes the problems in the world, besides which, the problems aren’t in and of themselves anything more than an absence of God in our lives. It’s like darkness and light. Darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. All of our pain, suffering and sadness results from our turning away from God, turning away from the light. That always results in darkness. Then we whine about why God allows this to happen. We CHOSE it.

      God could snuff the devil and eliminate sin in the blink of an eye, but that would negate our free will, which would, in turn, make us incapable of true companionship.

      It’s in the Bible. You can look it up!!
