I would never simply **** it up, but maybe that's just me 
Men can be thick. My husband is one of those. Unless I literally tell him to, he won't have a clue that I'm wanting or needing him to jump in and take over.
Be kind, but clear:
"Honey, I really need to rest, can you help me out for just a bit so I can squeeze in a small nap?"
"I've just got nothing left here because this medicine is making me feel worse, can you take care of dinner tonight please?"
If that doesn't work be more forward and blunt:
"Get off your freaking duff and help me or I'm going to keel over and then you can find a way to raise the children alone and pay all of our bills by yourself."
You're sick. He's your husband. There's no reason why he can't pick up the slack and help you out.
