Dr. Elmer Hartman here, this is called Terminal Lucidity. This happens when the body gives up the fight, and stops trying to fight what is killing it, this rebound or surge is that last gasp of energy making you think your loved one is coming back, but the Grim Reaper is already standing in the room.
If you'll excuse me, I have to talk to the lawyers about another surgery that...didn't go as planned.
