Mateo was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate and complications in his heart. The medical team at APROQUEN met him when he was 8 days old, and at 4 months, he underwent his first surgery.

Esther Marotta never received a diagnosis of cleft lip and palate malformation during prenatal ultrasounds and follow-ups. She was small and could barely feed properly due to the opening in her palate.
