I am sorry to learn of your lawyer's health issues.  The lawyer or someone from his or her office, should request a continuance.  Most lawyers have backup plans, to account for this type of issue.  I suggest that you call the lawyer's office, and ask who is the designee to handle matters in his or her absence. In any event, you should show up in court on the day of trial and explain what is happening, if you are unable to speak with your lawyer or someone in his or her office.  Best of luck~
