First Lady Melania Trump undergoes kidney surgery
First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday.
The procedure was successful, and there were no complications. She is expected to remain at medical centre for the duration of the week.
"The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere," spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said.
President Donald Trump was in the white House during Melania Trump’ surgery and tweeted just after 5 pm (Monday) that he is heading to hospital to visit his wife.
Mr. Trump and the first lady spoke before Monday's procedure, and he spoke to the doctor immediately afterward, a senior administration official said.
The White House did not offer any additional details on Mrs. Trump's condition.
She recently hosted her first state dinner during a three-day visit from the president of France.
Last week, the first lady launched her "Be Best" initiative to help children be their best selves.
