So we are currently in hospital with DD4 the hospital know her extremely well as in she was in for 2 years straight and regular admissions since for various health needs including heart failure, intestinal failure, chronic lung disease.
We are currently in as she was very poorly 3 weeks ago with sepsis, we came back in 2 days who wirh fever, low bloods due to a viral infection ( really active cough etc )
She is due to go theatre for an important line insertion.
Anyway she is known as the child who has no temp regulation and often requires a hair hugger.
So the temperature has really dropped outside and we are in the cubicle that is know for its draft ! Basically for some reason the windows aren’t right and in the middle between the two windows connecting air comes through in the room.
It’s basically freezing !
Everyone who has entered has been like its soo cold in here.

Anyway I spoke to nurse in charge as ward manager isn’t here.
DD has been up vomiting and cold since 5.30 am and can not sleep.
They basically said they keep reporting it but there’s nothing they can do!
I think daughter will be safer and warmer at home !
Is there a temp by law that rooms have to meet in hospitals or work places ??

I'm glad you've been moved. Incase the temperature drops again tonight ask for extra blankets.
Could someone bring warm socks and hat etc from home? Not sure if your dd can wear pjs if she has monitors etc but if she can then layer them up.

It could be shoddy windows. I once worked in an office where you could feel a breeze blowing in through a closed double glazed window. We sometimes had our coats over our legs
