Prayers for Melania.  Hope it's not too serious.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I assume so.  Probably to the WH, and it will eventually get there.

BREAKING: First Lady Melania Trump hospitalized in Maryland after undergoing successful embolization procedure to treat benign kidney condition - WH
@mystery-ak
@Freya

Was watching CNN when this came on.  Doctor there said "embolization procedure" cuts off blood flow to tumor.  She will be in hospital the rest of the week.  White House said it is not cancer. 

Now, if you cut off blood flow to something, it dies.  If there is a tumor on or in the kidney, it is going to die and maybe that is why she will be there all this week; this may not be over -yet.

Trump was not at hospital when she had the surgery.  He will go there sometime today - well, that is special, at least he is going at some time.  They tried to say it would have taken a number of people to go with him if he went when she had the surgery - but he still has to take those same people when he goes later today - that excuse does not hold water (and maybe her kidney isn't processing that water like it should).

He has said he is afraid of germs.  I think that is why he wasn't there for the surgery.  In fact, he likely doesn't want to go there and may be afraid of her being in a hospital bed after having surgery - with maybe a germ somewhere he could catch.  He is a wimp.

I will stick with what I believe - Melania is furniture to him.  And, if he wasn't president, he would exchange this furniture as fast as he could since the furniture is sick.

Well...he IS the president.  And, this doesn't sound like major surgery - no part or limbs being removed, no drilling into the skull, etc.  If it were me, I wouldn't find it any more reassuring whether my husband was in the waiting room or at the White House.  I'd be unconscious.

Would have been nice if Trump had been there, but if the rumors about marital strife are true, perhaps Mrs. Trump didn't want him there anyway. 

Whatever.  I do wish Mrs. Trump well and pray she makes a full recovery.

True...but did she know it wasn't cancerous before..that is the question....besides I would still want him near although I know he would be sleeping in the waiting room..

Kidney Stones at age 48?  Pretty young for that condition, but not out of the question I guess.

Two of my staff went down on the job with kidney stones.   Both were healthy young men in their 20s.

@Suppressed

It's not kidney stones - one doesn't cut off blood to kidney stones - they are not attached to the body.  This is a tumor/mass of some sort; they cut off the blood to it.
And she has to stay there for all this week.  This is not over.

I can't imagine not going, if I had a wife in distress like that.

Okay .. but I suspect you're not a very private person living in a fishbowl.  I also suspect your husband travelling to the hospital would not have commanded secret service checkpoints, the press and a caravan of vehicles complete with flashing lights and an ambulance.

Maybe, just maybe .... this is the way Melania wanted to handle this.   :shrug:

Yes, this is a procedure to shrink a tumor.  Reports use the word "benign" condition, so I suspect this refers to the tumor's type.

Staying through the week helps manage her discomfort and allows for scans and other procedures to assess the success of the treatment.

I would assume there was enough of a security issue with the First Lady being there with an emergency
medical conditon, adding to it the crowd that has to follow the President...might have just been a wee bit
more then Walter Reed could handle right about then.  I am sure that husband and son will be there visiting
this evening.

Best of Wishes to the First Lady.

But it does matter when he went. It's like the difference between flowers and a card and dinner at the Red Lobster!

Of course it does.  This is AFTER the surgery ... not before.  And she wasn't part of the entourage.

But, hell, let's string him up ... heaven knows he deserves it.  (is "/s" necessary?   ^-^)
