I don't think those carpets will dry out at all this winter if left in situ.
I think you have no choice but to remove them and hang them out to dry for a week under cover, then several hours with a carefully sited fan heater warming the interior should see the floor and damp upholstery dried out, windows ajar to allow steam to escape.
If the carpets are too difficult to remove then prop them up as best as can be done with sticks to allow air circulation, then the fan heater might do the job over a weekend.
If it isn't done properly she'll have the unenviable situation of constantly steamed and iced up windows inside the whole winter and the inevitable stink of decay that may prove impossible to remove.
edit...notice i've addressed this to you BT, i have a daughter too and you might as well talk to the wall..:-)
