Sharon: My condolences to your daughter. How old is she? Got others? My wife and I have three children, so I know a little from sick kids. They will all be coming on March 23rd, which seems an eternity away in family time (but a twinkling in syllabus time). I hope for her sake and mine she is well on Friday, but will entirely understand if not. We will hook up otherwise. I would be delighted to talk to your class, and USA day seems a natural time. The 24th is a Sunday -- is that really when you meet? Or is it the 26th? Also, what time of day do you meet, and where?
