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..

You will both be in my thoughts and my prayers.  I know how you feel.  My first went to NICU just hours after he was born and I had to leave the hospital without him.  It was very hard on me.  I cried and cried, but he is just fine today.  She will be okay.  I know it in my heart.  And Joy is right.  I know it will be hard, but take care of yourself and get as much rest as you can and go see her as often as possible.  She knows mommy and will love hearing your familiar voice.  Know we are all here and praying for her speedy recovery.

You're not alone! Many mothers here have watched their babies struggle AND thrive in NICU. Give her some time and make sure you're getting well rested so that when she DOES come home you'll be refreshed.
