The first lady’s surgery Monday morning was for a “benign kidney condition.” The White House said the procedure was successful and did not result in any complications. She is expected to remain in the hospital through the end of the week.
“The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere,” Stephanie Grisham, communications director for the first lady, said in a statement.
