Michelle and Barack Obama, who served as the 44th US president from 2009 to 2017 are still active in the political arena. That said, they remain under the limelight and the public is very interested in both their private and professional lives, including the lives of their two daughters, Malia and Sasha.
The sisters have been residing in Los Angeles and are seen hanging out together.
They both have careers on their own.
In the past, during the 2012 presidential campaign to be exact, Former President Barack Obama opened up about an unpleasant experience the family went through when Sasha was just three months old.
“People ask me what was the hardest time in my life — they ask, well what about during the debt ceiling debate and this and that and the other thing,” he started his speech, and added that one of the hardest times in his life was when Sasha was diagnosed with meningitis when she was just a baby.

Later on, Michelle brought up the topic with Rev. Al Sharpton, saying that the experience still lives in her memory.
“I will never forget. It was a day when, you know, one hour she was fine, she was normal, she was happy, doing everything I was used to her doing and the next hour she was crying inconsolably, and that just wasn’t like her. And I did everything.”
She then added, “I tried to do – tried to feed her, tried to rock her, tried to burp her. Finally, I just thought, I need to call my pediatrician.”
Once at the emergency department, doctors ran tests and performed a spinal tap.

Luckily, things turned out for the best for Sasha thanks to her parents’ quick reaction and the access to medical treatment. Had they not had access to pediatrician, health insurance, and hospital care without worrying for the cost of the treatment, things could have taken the wrong turn, Michelle explained.
“If we had waited overnight, if we had postponed acting, there’s no telling what the outcome would’ve been,” she added.
The family still thanks God for the outcome.
