I was told the last time I got jury duty that they rarely ever do anything if you dont show up. I would just call first thing in the morning and let them know of your circumstances and tell them you can do it later in the week (or whenever you would be available). I had to call in because I sent in my excuse and didnt hear anything back so I assumed it was excuseed. Less then 2 months later I got another summons and I called in to talk to them and told them my excuse was that my son has to ride the handicapped bus and has to have someone to get him on and off the bus every single day and if someone is not there then the state notifies Department of Children and Families. The lady I talked to was really super nice and told me not to worry about it and explained that I would not have gotten the second summons but that they never received the first one. I explained I sent it back and she said well Ill excuse that one also and you will be removed for the time being from being selected. (Im not sure exactly how long they excuse you for but she said I wouldnt receive another one for awhile)
