Sorry I couldn't help.
Maybe they will let your wife in because of the delays:
Hit up the lounge of the carrier on which you're flying. This can be a reduced stress area because of its exclusivity and its relative quietness compared to the hustle and bustle of the rest of your terminal.
For example, the
AA Admirals Club is located in Gate/Area G8 and Gate/Area H6,
or The United Red Carpet Club can be found at Gate/Area B18, Gate/Area B6, Gate/Area C16 and Gate/Area F3
To use the lounge, you will have to do enough business with your airline, but most frequent travelers qualify.
"Finally, consider purchasing a day pass to one of the many airline lounges in each terminal. Visit your airline’s website for current pricing, or simply enter the lounge to inquire about rates. All lounges at O’Hare include free Wi-Fi, unlike the main terminal, and offer an oasis away from crowded gates with free snacks, comfortable seating and complimentary bar drinks. Also, should you require re-booking assistance, the lines inside the lounge for customer service are far shorter than those found on the concourses — often making the price of admission pay for itself."
