So, it's the following day (Thursday, November 4th), and I still don't have any answers but a whole lot of questions.  

In my last post you read that I had decided to take Liberty home since we weren't getting any response from the cardiothoracic surgeon and that I had no idea what kind of surgery was in store for her.  I began researching once I had everyone tucked safely into bed last night.

Today, I waited by the phone for a call that never came until Jeremy told me maybe something had gotten lost in translation and I should call the cardiothoracic surgeon myself.  Good thing he said that, because he was right.  They had never received the message from Dr. C.  The person who answered (I'm not sure her position) looked Liberty up in the system and after reading the notes told me she would put Liberty's case before the surgeons directly.  It turns out there are four surgeons, and they will be having a meeting either today or tomorrow to discuss the best course of action for Liberty.

Good thing I didn't stick around the hospital!  I'd have been paying for a bunch of hotel nights that we didn't even need.  :-)
