Even though she's sick, she needs to know that it won't count as a show unless it's over $150. That means that all orders have to be transmitted as individual orders, meaning they all have to pay the direct shipping cost. 
That also means she gets no host benefits, including the host special. I'm not sure how sick she is and if she just REALLY doesn't want to deal with it. If she REALLY wants that special, maybe it'll give her a little motivation to get a few more orders. Depending on how you feel, if you have any straggling orders from individuals, you could add those to your show if you have them. Sometimes I know I'll do this for hosts who really seem to have given it their best shot. Maybe she has a friend or a husband who's willing to pass the catalog around too. If she's not too far off, this is what I'd encourage her to do. Then maybe she could share part of her host benefit with that person. Technically she can't co-host a catalog show, but if someone helps her out, she can buy something for them at the discount she earns. Or you could reward that person with a little something. Order on the hosts order to get the discount.
Any other suggestions?? Those were my only thoughts so far. Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $150 limit mean for orders under a host?
The $150 limit refers to the maximum amount that can be ordered under a host's party to qualify for host rewards. This means that if your order is part of a party, it should not exceed $150 to ensure that the host receives their benefits.
How can I place an order under a host's $150 limit?
To place an order under a host's $150 limit, simply visit the host's party link, select your desired products, and ensure that your total does not exceed $150 before checkout. This way, you can support the host while staying within the limit.
What if my order exceeds the $150 limit?
If your order exceeds the $150 limit, you will need to adjust your selections to bring the total down to $150 or less. Alternatively, you can place a separate order outside of the host's party, but this will not contribute to the host's rewards.
Can I combine orders with others to stay under the $150 limit?
Yes, you can combine orders with other guests to stay under the $150 limit. Just coordinate with your friends or family members to ensure that the total combined order does not exceed $150, allowing the host to earn rewards while everyone gets their desired products.
What happens if I accidentally exceed the limit during checkout?
If you accidentally exceed the $150 limit during checkout, the system will typically notify you of the issue. You will need to go back and adjust your order to ensure it meets the limit before you can complete the purchase under the host's party.
