The reason Dr. Oz’s granddaughter collapsed in the Oval Office during her grandfather’s swearing in speech is ‘nothing serious,’ her mom has revealed.
Philomena Jovanovic, 11, sparked panic when she fainted in front of the president on Friday.
It came just moments after grandfather Dr. Mehmet Oz sworn in as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Services by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
The youngster quickly got to her feet and was embraced by her mom Daphne Oz, who has since taken to Instagram to share an update.
‘We are so grateful it was nothing serious, and she bounced right back – with a trip for some delicious Navy Mess soft serve for good measure,’ ‘ Daphne wrote.
She also added that the president, ‘went out of his way to make both our children feel comfortable in a stressful situation’.
‘He was exceedingly warm, caring and generous as he spent personal time with each of them at the Resolute Desk and gifted them treasures to take home.=,’ Daphne added.
‘A more than memorable day at the White House for all of us.’

President Donald Trump ‘s Oval Office erupted into chaos after Philomena collapsed on Friday
It came just moments after grandfather Dr. Mehmet Oz sworn in as administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Services by Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Philomena is the eldest of Daphne’s four children with husband John Jovanovic.
The family were in attendance to watch Dr. Oz, a longtime television personality who pivoted to politics, receive his place in the administration.
After the brief ceremony was over, Trump held a back and forth with reporters in the room.
That was hastily cut short, when the young girl collapsed – with Oz, a medical doctor, rushing to assist her.
White House aides started yelling at the press to depart the scene.
‘Thank you press, get out right now,’ one aide is heard yelling.
‘No photos!’ someone said.
Her fainting spell brought another rollicking mini press conference in the Oval to a dramatic conclusion.

The president had been peppered with questions about Russia-Ukraine talks, Iran’s nuclear program and he gleefully answered a conservative reporter’s question about Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s meeting in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration.
‘Photos have emeged of Sen. Van Hollen sipping what appears to be margaritas with Abrego Garcia down in El Salvador. Do you encourage other Democrats to fly down to El Salvador to meet with this illegal alien who’s an accused wife-beater?’ the reporter asked.
Trump said he appreciated the question.
‘I like this guy, see now this is the kind of a reporter we like, there aren’t enough of them,’ Trump said.
‘No, look, he’s a fake,’ Trump said of Van Hollen, who represents Maryland where Abrego Garcia had been living. ‘I know him. I know them all. They’re fake. They have no interest in that prisoner.’
Trump said that Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 and detailed allegations of abuse his wife file against him, which DailyMail.com exclusively reported.
The president then falsely claimed that there were ‘no stories’ about ‘Angel Mom’ Patty Morin, who spoke at a White House briefing earlier this week.
Her daughter Rachel Morin was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant, with the White House holding that up as evidence of Biden’s failed immigration policy.
Daphne revealed that she and her kids went to get ice cream from the Navy mess after the incident
While CNN and MSNBC didn’t take the briefing live, Morin’s appearance got mainstream coverage.
When a reporter switched the topic to Iran, Trump scoffed, ‘No impact, see that, no impact whatsoever.’
On Russia and Ukraine, Trump said he needed to see that both sides were serious about making peace.
‘My whole life has been one big negotiation and I know when people are playing us and when they are not and I have to see an enthusiasm to want to end it,’ Trump responded.
‘And I think I see that enthusiasm. I think I see it from both side. But you’re going to know soon.
The president bristled when asked if Russia was playing him.
‘No, nobody’s playing me, I’m trying to help. This is Biden’s war,’ he answered.
Trump was talking Iran when Philomena fainted.

‘But with the with Iran, with Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon, and if they have a nuclear weapon, you’ll all be very unhappy,’ the president said.
‘You all be very unhappy since your lifetime, because your life will be in great danger.’
