FLOTUS Pool Report No. 2 - more details

The East Wing passes along the children who arrived with FLOTUS:

Riley Whitney, 11-year-old male patient

Faith Hinkle, 5-year-old female patient

FLOTUS read the story and then made brief remarks.

She told the children that she hoped Santa “bring[s] you a lot of toys.”

"So I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wish you a lot of strength and love. My husband, the president, is sending love and best wishes as well. Thank you for having me here.”

She then made sure Faith was able to tell Santa Claus what she wanted for Christmas and conversed briefly with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. The first lady then went around and talked to some of the other young patients out of earshot of the pool.

Faith didn’t want the first lady to go and hugged her at least twice before Melania departed at 10:41 a.m. She’s now headed to meet patients in their rooms, which is closed press.

Here’s the Otter of her remarks and part of Caoilinn McLane’s introduction.
