Hi garrett1197.
It could be that he's just not feeling too terribly well within himself as well. I mean, he must obviously be struggling at this time in his life. He might be processing a lot of things, and feeling a bit lost, reevaluating everything - detached - or something along those lines. I mean if it was me in the hospital, I wouldn't be the chirpiest person in the world. Do you know what I mean?
Give him some time, don't rush him, and he'll come right.
