Movin' on up!
HOW does a patient get hypothermia, in a hospital? I hope your son's fiance gets well, soon.

As for your delivery: DO NOT allow any hospital personnel to touch you or the baby, unless you personally witness them washing their hands. Most in-hospital infections can be directly traced to improper sanitation. Hospital personnel go from patient to patient, without washing their hands. Its such a simple thing, too and soap and water are cheap!

Yola, I'm glad Becky is making some progress even if it is slow. I'm continuing to send thoughts and prayers.

I work in a nusing home/hospital and I do know that the surgical area is kept cooler than the rest of the hospital. For example, at my hospital the OR is always air-conditioned no matter what time of year it is. And a patient who has just had surgery is cold, but normally they aren't suffering from hypothermia.

Thank you everyone for your very kind thoughts. Becky was released from hospital yesterday (Sunday), and will have to rest up for a couple of months - tricky for a lively 16 year old, but she will just have to do it.

Once again, your good wishes were appreciated.
