Question about maternal health

I'm writing a happy Christmas story about a woman who goes into premature labor in Texas.

Yeah, right.

She has maternal chorioamnionitis. She and her baby do survive (the happy part). My current question is whether she'd be allowed to see her baby in NICU while she still has a fever. Does anyone know or know where I could find out?

I wasn't sure where to post this.
