Hello,
Chronic alcoholism, infection and low sodium probably have injured a part of his brain. He surviving on the function of the remaining brain and so his responses and alertness are not full. It takes sometime for the remaining brain to take over function of the lost brain. It may take weeks to months and still the recovery may be incomplete. At present he will need maintenance medical support and nursing care. Hope for the best. Good luck.
