Oh Jason,
I'm so sorry. I do hope that your DM is ok and gets better soon.
On the DVC points - we had to cancel last minute due to a medical emergency and were going to loose a heck of a lot of points. I called DVC and explained the situation to a CM who got her supervisor. The supervisor requested that I fax documentation from the hospital and then refunded all of my points. I don't know if that's their usual policy, or I just got a whole bunch of pixie dust, but it can't help to try.
Please know that you've got a lot of people on here who understand how disappointing your situation is. Hang in there.
