The first lady was hospitalized Monday morning ahead of her procedure treating a “benign kidney condition.” The surgery was successful and did not result in any complications, Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director, said.

President Trump visited his wife at the Bethesda, Md., medical facility on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

On Tuesday afternoon, he tweeted that “our great First Lady” was “doing really well” and should be leaving the hospital in two to three days.
