First lady Melania Trump looks over at U.S. President Donald Trump as they wait at the West Wing door to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron at the White House in Washington, U.S., April 23, 2018.

  • President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that "Melanie is feeling and doing really well" after her hospital stay.
  • The first lady's name is Melania.

President Donald Trump misspelled his wife's name on Saturday in a tweet welcoming her home from a five-day hospital stay.

Trump, whose wife's name is Melania Trump, spelled it "Melanie" in the tweet. The tweet was quickly deleted and replaced with a version that spelled her name correctly.

Here's the misspelled tweet:

Here's the new one:

The first lady returned to the White House on Saturday morning after an extended hospitalization where she underwent an embolization procedure.

She was staying at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington, DC. It's unclear what the kidney condition was, but the White House said it was benign.

Trump visited the first lady several times during her stay, the Associated Press reported.
