Sick husband wrecking trip

We never go on trips. We have kids and jobs and no money. My husband finally got the chance to present at a conference in Europe and my parents could watch the kids, so I grabbed a ticket and went along. Today we booked a private walking tour of somewhere interesting to us, just for a couple of hours, and he got sick halfway through. Like violent barfing (luckily in a bathroom). He's on glp-1s for t2 diabetes and frankly I think he's on way too high a dose because he feels sick way more often than I'd be willing to put up with. Anyway I'm assuming that's the cause and I KNOW it's not his fault but the fact is that it was really awkward and embarrassing with the tour guide (who has been nothing but kind, but still), and now we're cutting it short to take him back to the hotel to rest. I know he feels like crap on multiple levels but I'm still really embarrassed and disappointed, plus worried about him, and I hate that our once in a lifetime trip now has this pall over it. I can't ever have nice things. It sucks so much. And I feel bad for feeling upset when he's the one who's sick, so I have guilt on top of disappointment. It's not fair.
