I just got hired and I already need to call out. What should I do?

I got hired about a week and a half ago for a server position. I’ve done the class required, three days of training following another server, and my first on floor taking my own tables. They have me at two tables right now so it’s not like I’m needed. This is just a trial period I’d say, to see how well I handle being on the floor alone. I’ve gotten excellent praise. I have open availability and I’ve expressed that to them which they were pleased to hear. I’m supposed to go in at two today. My mother and I were at 7 eleven together and she fell. She just got dizzy and fell out. I helped her and got her to the car and back home. I made her some food, had her drink water and just had her sitting down to take it easy. She ate and when she was done she got up to use the restroom and it happened again, dizzy spell and she fell. She’s saying she doesn’t know what’s wrong. She’s drinking plenty of fluids now and not throwing up or anything. But she can’t walk, I had to help her from the toilet and to the couch. I feel I should call out but I just got hired. What do you think Cracker Barrel would do in this situation? I feel I should take her to the hospital. There is no one else to take her and watch her at home today. My brother lives two and a half hours away, I couldn’t call him on a whim. I’m not sure what I should do. Do you have any experience or knowledge with similar situations?
