Definitely let him do what he feels up to doing. All lying in bed all days does is cause muscle loss. When one is losing all that weight, one doesn't need more muscle loss from inactivity. He is probabaly sleeping so much from boredom. I know I did. They may be a point when he will be to tired to do stuff, but don't go there unless it is necessary. A nice walk in the park is always good if it is possible this time of year. Good for the body and the soul.
Take care,
Eileen
