The
first lady, 48, had been recovering at Walter Reed medical
center since Monday, when she underwent an embolization
procedure to treat the kidney condition.
Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement that Melania
Trump returned to the White House on Saturday morning.
"She is resting comfortably and remains in high spirits,"
Grisham said. "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."
An embolization is a minimally invasive procedure often used to
block the flow of blood to a tumor or an abnormal area of
tissue.
Donald Trump tweeted on Saturday that it was "great to have our
incredible First Lady back home in the White House."
In an initial tweet he misspelled her first name, writing that
"Melanie is feeling and doing really well," before writing a
subsequent tweet with her name's correct spelling.
