On Thursday, first lady Melania Trump continued, in a more than 60-year first lady tradition, visiting Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC.
On her way to the hospital, Mrs. Trump asked for prayers for those struggling with health issues:
On my way to @childrenshealth to read a #Christmas book and visit with some of the brave patients. Please keep all who are struggling with health issues in your thoughts & prayers this holiday season.

Patients Alena Sydnor, 25, and Damian Contreras, 7, guided Mrs. Trump to the hospital’s main atrium where she was joined on a stage by Santa Claus.

Trump took questions from the children, answering that her favorite Christmas song is “Oh, Holy Night.” She answered 10-year-old Andy’s questions, saying that if she could spend her Christmas anywhere, it would be on a deserted tropical island with her family.
