Your best friend calls you and tells you he's really sick?
I would leave them alone. If I were sick I wouldn’t want someone bothering me trying to help me, and I certainly wouldn’t want them to see me if I looked a mess.
I might check if there was anything in particular they intended to leave me when they were gone, and if they had put it in writing. It always helps to make sure that others have planned ahead.
