Melania Trump Will Spent Rest of the Week in the Hospital After Kidney Surgery
No complications, but will remain in the hospital for the rest of the week.
First Lady Melania Trump had successful kidney surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. From CNN:
Trump had been experiencing an issue with her kidney that her office described as benign but requiring medical attention.
“This morning, first lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. The procedure was successful, and there were no complications,” the first lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.
“Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there 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,” Grisham wrote.
Trump, who turned 48 last month, entered Walter Reed in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, on Monday morning.
She is the first US first lady to undergo such a serious medical procedure while in the White House since Nancy Reagan had a mastectomy in October 1987. Rosalynn Carter underwent surgery to remove a benign lump from her breast in April 1977. Weeks after Betty Ford became first lady, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy in September 1974.
President Donald Trump remained in the White House during Melania Trump’s surgery. He is expected to visit the hospital shortly, Grisham said.
As someone with chronic kidney infections and issues, my thoughts and prayers go to Melania and the rest of the family. I wish her a speedy recovery!
