Sepsis mental health?

My dad was diagnosed with sepsis a few days ago, and when I visted him at the hospital, he was acting unusual. He had a lack of attention and hallucinations.

Was this a case of sepsis or severe sepsis?

Will he return back to normal after he gets better?

Update:

Thank you for your feedback,

Today, he 'woke up' for approx 30 minutes, before returning to his delirious state.

    Delirium can be due to a severe infection like sepsis. He will return to normal after he gets better.
