I'm not in the US so don't let any of the unimportant details here confuse you.
My son is off school already, my girls are not. I arranged to take my 6yo son swimming today with a friend, had it all set up and organized.
In the morning my daughter woke up sick. Son and his friend would be devastated to cancel (for various reasons I wouldn't be able to take them again until Friday). Daughter is ok on paracetamol but should probably stay home, even if just coming to watch the swimming. I asked if she wants to go to my mother for a couple of hours but she wants to stay with me, and fair enough.
What to do? It's probably too late cancel anyway because I need to pick up the friend soon…

Where is this swimming taking place? What's the climate like? Will she be able to lie down and relax?

It's an indoor fun aquatics centre, water slides, water park. Very noisy. She doesn't really want to come. I just don't know what to do

Is anyone else available to take the boys- your mother, the boy's mother?

In the end she decided to come and watch a video on the iPad but it's not ideal. I guess we won't stay as long as we would have. These decisions are tough!

Hypothetically speaking because I hope she's better soon but what do you do when a kid is not well and it's vacation? Do the others need to miss out on fun outings because one should be home in bed?

I'd say in that situation sending your daughter to your mother for a couple of hours would've been a good option, even if it wasn't her choice. She wasn't terribly ill, and it is her grandmother.
