Random radio silence from friend

I have name changed in case this is outing....

This is more of a WWYD so ....

Friend of 3 or so years. Made friends when our eldest children were born. Definitely a friend not a play date mum.

Invited them (family) to an event for the kids. She text me on the day saying they couldn't make it as they were poorly! I replied saying not to worry hope they feel better soon etc.

She later rearranged a visit for the following week but when it came around she said they were still poorly. Replied again saying no issues, sorry they were so poorly, could I do anything etc etc.

Yesterday she messaged and initiated a conversation and rearranged asking if we were free today. I replied that we were in the afternoon and they could join us for an activity we had planned in the morning if that suited better. Replied within a few mins of the original text and then .... radio silence. Heard nothing from her. This is our of character. I went about my day and when I'd heard nothing just after lunch I messaged along the lines of .... guess something came up hope you're all okay!..... still nothing!

I'm drifting between genuine concern as it's unusual and being a bit annoyed. If it was a one off I'd probably not think much of it but coupled with the two recent cancellations I'm starting to think it's a bit off.

I want to try and be a good friend and find out if something has happened / is going on but I don't want to pressure her if she just doesn't want to see us.

It's a bit confusing as she reschedules and then cancels which makes me think it's genuine but if something came up you'd think she'd have sent a message by now.

Part of me thinks something dreadful has happened and the other part thinks she's just not arsed with us anymore.

Thoughts? WWYD... text again? Leave it? Call?
