availability for boutique 1st round interview

A boutique firm I cold-emailed for a summer analyst intenship a few weeks ago contacted me this week to see my availibility for a 1st round interview. I replied yesterday and told them that I wasn't available for an interview yesterday but was today and all of next week. I've been battling flu-like symptoms for the past few days and was hopeful that I'd recover by today. Well, I haven't and as a result I'm in no condition to take part in an interview.

Another thing: In my original email, I didn't mention that I was sick. And also, the email regarding my availability that I sent out yesterday has yet to get a response from the boutique. Do I email my contact at the boutique and explain to her that I'm sick today and am unavailable for an interview or just plan on explaining the situation to them if they do decide to call me today?

Thanks in advance.
