Melania Trump in ‘high spirits’ upon White House return

- By Darlene Superville

WASHINGTON — Melania Trump returned to the White House in “high spirits” on Saturday following a weeklong hospitaliz­ation for kidney treatment.

President Donald Trump heralded her homecoming with a tweet.

“Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!” Trump wrote before quickly supersedin­g that tweet with another that spelled his wife’s name correctly.

The first lady’s quiet return to the White House, her husband and their 12-year-old son, after five days at a nearby U.S. military hospital resolved a brewing mystery about when she would eventually be released. What remain are questions about the state of her health.

Her spokeswoma­n, Stephanie Grisham, has declined to release additional details, citing Melania Trump’s right to privacy.

“The first lady returned home to the White House this morning,” Grisham said in an emailed statement. “She is resting comfortabl­y and remains in high spirits. Our office has received thousands of calls and emails wishing Mrs. Trump well, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to reach out.” First ladies are under no obligation to make their medical histories public.

She had been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington since Monday, when she had an embolizati­on procedure to treat an unspecifie­d kidney condition the White House described as benign.
