HIPPA, children's medical records and rights to privacy under TX state law

My child received a unsigned delivery from a florist while in the hospital. When I called the florist to ask who sent it, they refused to tell me due to a privacy law.
The card attached also contained other personal info about my child.
Does the privacy laws differ when pertaining to children and how could I find out who sent it.

There is no florist-client privacy right, but without a legal reason to force disclosure, you are unlikely to get the info.
