On Sunday, seven-year-old Juliana Letran waits with her mother, Marlene, in advance of her pre-surgical evaluation, during which she would giggle at Dr. Syboney Zapata’s stethoscope cover, a fluffy lion.
On Tuesday morning, after her secondary palatoplasty on Monday, Juliana sat up and sipped Gatorade while Dr. David Wainwright, who performed the surgery, pronounced her fit for discharge.
