Ted frowns at the text. At first he assumes she's saying she's sorry about being late, or maybe she felt overwhelmed by the idea of meeting her ex-wife and kid. But neither seems exactly right. Like she's elaborate a bit more?
About what? What's wrong?
He waits for a response, and still hasn't gotten anything by the time his family is back, so he puts it aside for now. Maybe Joan needs a little time.
Eventually he gets tired, and Michelle tells Henry that they need to let daddy get some rest, and they can visit him later. Ted offers them the use of his apartment, since it's just standing there empty anyway, but they end up going to a hotel near the hospital instead.
Ted checks his phone again, and there's still nothing, so he sends another text: Are you on a case? What's up?
That one gets him nothing either, so he tries calling, and it goes to voice mail. Is her phone off? (He tries not to get paranoid about something happening to her, and he's not wholly successful.)

So he texts Sherlock.
Hey. Is Joan with you? I can't reach her.
