Please pray for my little angel.. has anyone gone through this?

MY little girl was born on Sept 2nd at 9:45 pm.   she weighed 6lbs 12oz..  and was 20 inches long.  
I was in labor for 21 hours.. and pushed her out in 10 min..
She had the cord wrapped around her neck and wasnt really breathing when she came out.  Then they suctioned her.. but she started grunting and had a hard time breathing..  the brought her up to NICU..   she's been there for 3 days now.. she has wet lungs.. is on 2liters oxygen at 50%..   her respiratory rate is 90-100..  when it should be around 40-60..    I just left the hospital today..  havent stopped crying..  I want her home and in my arms..   I cant even hold her..

I am sorry you had to go through this ... Her lungs being wet is not alway's a bad thing.. It just means that they need to make here cry.... The more she cries, the more she expell's what is in her lungs.... Happened with my youngest. He had wet lungs and the nurse kept telling me to tick him off and make him scream so he'd expell that wetness... She'll be home soon. CONGRATS *HUGS* and take it easy@
