Health
Can Take Care of My Sick Family Member
(Unit 3 – Lesson 3 pages 81-87)

• When you are sick, you would curl up in a ball and be quiet.
• Sometimes, you would moan and cry. You feel very uncomfortable.
• When a family member is not feeling well, you do not feel their pain
physically, But, somehow, you feel a different kind of sickness inside you.
• It is not easy seeing a loved one in pain. When one is sick, the rest helps out
because they are worried and concerned.

Sickness in the Family

• For every sickness, there are a lot of good medicines that are available in
the pharmacy.
• As a family who loves each member even in difficult times, comfort and care
are also given aside from the medicine.
• The stress of worrying is minimized when each member of the family shares
in the responsibility of taking care of their sick.
• Comfort and care are needed especially if the sick member is suffering from
a long-term illness.

Giving Comfort and Care

• Check if he or she is comfortable in his or her bed. You may bring him pr her
extra huggable pillow.
• Help in pouring his or her water or juice. He or she will drink it in small
frequent sips, not all at once.
• Help in preparing his or her food like soft bread and soup.
• Remind your family member when it is time to drink his or her medicine.

4|P age
 • Avoid making loud noises that will disturb him or her when he or she is
sleeping or resting.
• When he or she needs you to be by his or her side, ask how you can make him
or her feel better. Sometime, when he or she feels lonely, he or she needs
to be amused. You can sing, chat, or read something to him or her.

If you see that your family member is not feeling well, tell your other family
members or other trusted adults immediately. When an illness becomes serious,
your sick family member is brought to the hospital. This makes the adults in the
family very stressed because they need to make medical decisions about the types
of care and treatments.

Some illness may change the way people look. They may lose or gain weight or
have less hair. They may feel very tired or be connected to tubes. Even though
they may look different, they are still the same person.

Since you cannot go to the hospital most of the time, you can also do the ff:

• Make a card.
• Write a letter or poem.
• Pick or choose flowers for a nice bouquet for his or her bedside table.
• Record your message.
• Send your photo then write at the back like a post card.
