However, Selena was introduced to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where a remarkable team performed a life-changing surgery while she was awake. Today, thanks to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Selena is back to being the vibrant mother she was always meant to be, reclaiming the joy she once knew.
