Dude, if one of my folks were in your circumstances, I would have told them to take the day or even two. There's work and then there's common human decency.
One of my top two had a baby about 9 days before Christmas (actually his wife did, but the details aren't that relevant). I told him to stay home until after the holiday and that I'd be seriously pissed if he showed up before that. It sucked for a few days, but no lives were lost and he's motivated to work harder.
Any manager that doesn't get that should be demoted.
Wumpie snappie.
Snerp.
