First Lady Melania Trump is in recovery after undergoing a “successful” kidney surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Her communications director, Stephanie Grisham, released a statement Monday saying that the first lady will likely remain hospitalized for the rest of the week as she recovers.

“This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition,” the statement said. “The procedure was successful and there were no complications. 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.”(continued)

Thank you Lord for watching over our beloved First Lady in her successful surgery.

May your healing hands shield her from any post-surgery risks !

Please give VP Pence the wisdom and courage required to fill in for our wonderful President whilst he attends his wife !

Here’s the Wikipedia description of the procedure:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embolization

It looks like she had some kind of a nonmalignant growth that could have become malignant and they blocked an artery that fed the growth to kill it. Seems to have been a fairly major procedure since I once had a malignant bladder tumor removed with day surgery and she’s spending the rest of the week in the hospital to recover.

Thank God it was caught early..My cousin a few years ago found out accidentally(Went in for a CT-Scan for his spleen) and found out he had a tumor on his kidney..he also had a scope put in and the tumor removed..its a rare thing but it does happen. She probably had symptoms, back pain that alerted docs that something wasn’t right

WOW, how long has she not been feeling well? She never showed it.

The vicious media attacking her and starting rumors must have added to the problem with their nattering and nipping at her heels.

All First Ladies are viciously attacked. It’s pretty status quo for the job they signed up for.

Just waiting.

If all first ladies are viciously attacked,.....I don’t seem o recall anyone attacking Michael Robinson-Obama for anything except the horrible food program in schools.

Here is a bit of the Trump genius:

He didn’t show up in Israel. Let the media go on and on about how inconsiderate he is, how irresponsible and how detached he is..

... Then later in the day let them realize that he was with his wife in the hospital. ZING

I’m not one of those “Trump plays 4D chess” kinda guys, but I’m starting to see somewhat how he plays the people around him. “The Art of the Deal” details how to keep every off balance so you look like the master of the whole room. He wrote the book.

Medical FReepers, what could this be?

I have heard of people not getting enough fluids after the stomach virus, and needing kidney surgery. Could that be it? Prayers up fro her.
