Personally I would just chalk it up and move on.
It sounds like you didn't offer any care that wasn't paid for and that it was just the notice time that you would want payment for, is that correct? Or did she stop payment on any checks that covered time that he was in your care?
If that's the case I might send her a total invoice with a due date and that it would go to small claims if unpaid. But if it's the notice time I would let it go but that's just me.
You can't help when you get sick but for a parent, finding care for 3 days at such short notice can be tough. So even if I couldn't help it I would feel bad and just let them leave if they were totally paid up to that point.

You may have to file a case in small claims court....
