First lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit to a Florida hospital on Thursday to deliver Easter baskets ahead of the holiday.
Trump brought Easter baskets with a plush toy, crayons, coloring books, White House playing cards, a book, and 2018 commemorative wooden Easter eggs to children at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
“The children lit up when [the first lady] walked in the room,” Trump’s communications director Stephanie Grisham tweeted.
Great visit today! The children lit up when @flotus walked in the room. Thank you to @StMarysMC for allowing us to stop by. https://t.co/2I1UeZcSYx

Grisham said Trump visited with several patients and their parents, and thanked the medical staff for their work. She also visited patients in their rooms.
“So great to spend time with some of their brave patients and hard working doctors and nurses,” Trump tweeted with photos of her visit.
