I would just let her know you’re doing other things today and you’ll catch up another time. Don’t allow yourself to become a text buddy.

She canceled twice therefore it’s incumbent on her to set up plans upon the second cancelation. She didn’t. So, your text is … “ Hi Julie, it sounds like a nasty bug you have there. Get well and reach out when you’re feeling good enough to meet. When you’re thinking about what we’re going to do , I like sushi , red wine , hiking, …. See you soon :) ”
She’ll understand the message and you will as well, if she doesn’t set up the next hang out.

First establish that she's well again. THEN make actual plans. You keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. The first time she said she was sick I just would've said something to the effect of: "Got it. I'll circle back end of the week." Then when I did (on Friday or Sunday) I would begin with a playful text that sussed out how she was feeling ("So are you still drinking chicken soup"). You sound like another guy who takes only text for logistics to the extreme. Well, here are the consequences of that. As for now, I would simply thumbs up the text and see what she does. If nothing by midweek reinitiate, finally, in the way I suggested. If she's still giving you the runaround then, move on.

Keep the door open and just tell her to touch base when she’s feeling better. She might actually be sick but trust your instincts. If you honestly feel like she’s playing you, she might be.

If she was giving you the run around she would have most likely just stopped texting or responding to you, there is a chance here she is legitimately sick. There is also a chance she is busy spinning plates and is staying in touch to keep you as a backup option. In this kind of situation I find gut instinct is 99% accurate, what is your gut telling you?

4days is a reasonable time to be sick maybe just wait a few more days then text her checking up on how she’s feeling and go from there
