Her eyes sparkle and she squeals with delight as she sswalks into the loving arms of her “parents, Cindii and John,. Their faces show the pride and joy they feel as they hold a miracle close to their hearts. «As one of Geisinger Hospital's ‘Miracle Children, she will be fea- tured during the Children's Mir- acle Network Telethon, June 3 on S Channel 186. Born in the early morning of Nov. 2, 1993, at Geisinger Wyo- ming Valley Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre, Nadine seemed to be a happy, healthy baby with high scores on newborn tests. Then doctors realized something was wrong with her heart. “They told us Life Flight was on its way to take our baby to Geisin- , ger Medical Center in Danville where pediatric cardiologists were waiting to examine her,” recalls John. “Soon she was in the trans- port isolette and on her way. The waiting game began.” Later that afternoon the Selan- nis learned that Nadine had been «born with a life-threatening con- genital heart defect. The next day, when John and Cindii joined Nadine in the neo- natal intensive care unit (NICU) in Danville, specialists there ex- plained that surgery to correct “=the condition could only be per- formed after a cardiac catheriza- “tion and other complicated tests. When Nadine failed to stabilize following the catherization, doc- ,tors decided to operate the follow- ‘ing day — two weeks from the day -she was born. A LITTLE MIRACLE - Nadine Sellani of Kingston Township will be featured as one of the miracle children this weekend on the Chil- dren's Miracle Network Telethon. Subsequent operations cor- rected other heart and lung prob- lems. After spending the first 11 weeks of her life at Geisinger, Natidine finally went home. Nadine works with a special teacher, an occupational thera- pist and a physical therapist once a week to improve the develop- ment skills which are often de- layed in pediatric cardiology cases. Her cardiac prognosis is excellent ~ and she will be able to be active and particpate in the usual child- hood activities. As Nadine scampers arond the Sellani household showing off her new discoveries, John and Cindii watch in amazement knowing that a miracle lives under their roof and in their hearts. Nadine has been named one of the miracle children in northeast- ern and central Pennsylvania for the 1995 Children’s Miracle Net- work Telethon which supports pediatric services at Geisinger. Her story will be told during the 21-hour telethon broadcast lo- callyon WNEP-TV 16 starting at 9 p.m., June 3.
