He is definitely coming around, maybe motivated by the stress of his surgery? The fact that you were there to support him today can't go unnoticed. Also, your attitude of keeping expectations low is the right way to handle it. You must be encouraged by the last few days. It's the kind of interaction that all of wish we had with our spouses again. Keep doing what you are doing, because it is working. Congrats again!
