We hope she's OK!
Melania Trump underwent kidney surgery this morning at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, DC, and is expected to be in the hospital for several days as she recovers, multiple outlets report.
No word on what she went under the knife for specifically, but she had a procedure called embolization done, which involves cutting off the blood flow to a particular part of the body. It is typically employed to shrink a tumor or block an aneurism, but the White House referred to the First Lady's problem as "a benign kidney condition" today, so hopefully it's nothing serious!
It remains to be seen whether her President husband will pay her a visit at her bedside, but something tells us she might not want him to!
