I know how you feel! It is scary being apart from T. My T is out of town for 11 more days (total of 14 days between seeing her, when I usually see her twice a week) and I spent the last two sessions before her trip discussing how I could better cope. We ended up with her telling me that I can still call and leave her messages, and she gave me something from her desk to hold on to while she's gone. That was the most helpful thing to do, as it reminds me that YES she is coming back, and YES she is still willing to work with me. I do know that I'll probably spend the first 2-3 sessions re-connecting and rebuilding that trust, but since I'm aware of it, I don't mind it so much.

(Note, though, this is only after 3 days of her being away, by the time day 10 and 11 roll around, I could be singing a whole different song here!)

I'm glad you emailed her, and agree that that sounds like a good way to keep connected during this time. If anything, it will give her a good glimpse of what you went through while she was gone, as she'll have your email(s) to read as a way to catch up and be prepared for your first appointment back.
