She's probably stressing about it. She probably doesn't want to go, but doesn't want to spoil it for everyone. Then if she decides to go, she could end up spoiling things anyway by having an emergency admission. There's only one thing to do, really... just keep her at home where she's comfortable, and shoot for next year. too bad Lice check for Mrs. Hayes.




Nothing worse than having to go somewhere when you don't feel well.

I'd chime in a with a "bag it" for this year. I have a family member who is up and down healthwise. It took a few years, but she enjoys travelling so much more when she can coincide it with physically being ready. If she's having a tough patch, it's simply time to stay home.
Family understands and making arrangements for an upcoming spring or summer visit shouldn't be trumped just because it's not a "holiday".

I'd have to agree with the majority here. I think staying home will be better for her health and make her more comfortable. There are plenty more holidays to come!
