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..

just thought i would say congrats and i had the same thing happen to my little girl she was born on june 24th she had a lot of trouble breathing because of fluid in her lungs as well as her lungs being underdeveloped due to my GD her breathing was also very fast they called transiet tachypnea of a newborn i probable didn't spell it right she was in the nicu for almost 2 weeks she was on a respirator the first 2 days and then on a cpap machine for the next 4 days the rest of the time she was on a nasal canule. she recovered fully and is now a healthy 2 month old you would never be able to tell she had problems at birth oh and also i want to say that she was not a premie infact she was born at 39 wks weighing 9 lbs 3 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long
