When your loved one – your child, your parent or other relative – becomes ill, there is a lot of change involved in the lives of all people engaged in looking after that person.

Looking after an ill person, especially a bedridden one, you need to involve a lot of energy into it. 

This is the final stage of life – it is an inevitable part of life which is going to be experienced by everyone, whose life wasn’t tragically interrupted in their youth. 

If possible, the person under your care should have a separate room with easy toilet access, or a commode in the room.

Skin redness, which doesn’t disappear after relieving pressure, blisters developing in the area under pressure, damaged epidermis – these symptoms should alert the carer. 

The older the child, the more embarrassing it is for him that his physiological functions don’t work the way they are supposed to.
