“Mrs. Trump and our team really cherished being with these brave kids and their caregivers,” Nicholas Clemens, communications director at the Office of the First Lady, told Fox News. “It was fun to see them light up when they talked with Mrs. Trump about their favorite sports and music, and especially when they saw the BE BEST teddy bears.”

Trump later visited and spent time with a three-year-old in the hospital’s heart and kidney unit.
The child had undergone five surgeries since his birth.
Trump also walked with White House grounds superintendent Dale Haney, who showed the first lady a rush bush donated by the White House that was planted earlier this week.
The hybrid Tea Rose bush, which Trump unveiled during her visit, was called “Eternal Flame.”
Trump had visited the garden in 2017, when she took part in its dedication ceremony, according to CNN.
“I was lucky to met so many very brave and amazing children,” Trump said to patients and guests at the time. “We had so much fun touring this space and planting many seeds. I look forward to coming back when everything that we planted is in full bloom.”
