No one's actually asked us what's wrong with Anna, which is a credit to your tact. But it seems like a good time to tell people.
We've found a great Web resource that seems to include everything we've heard from doctors, nurse practitioners and nurses since Wednesday on persistent pulmonary hypertension of a newborn:

Here's the nuts and bolts version of it: The baby's systems work differently inside the womb than outside it. Usually when the baby's born, she starts working on the outside-the-womb scenarios with lungs, heart, etc. In our case, she's persistent in wanting to do things the in-womb way. The doctor's trying to nudge her to do it herself. But, as a Trinko, she's being stubborn.
