He just had a major surgery, so vomiting is not that uncommon. Also, if he has been on dialysis, it's going to take his body a while to start to urinate normally, as he probably hasn't urinated normally in a long time.
ANY peeing is good at this point, it means the kidneys are starting to work. It will also take a while for his electrolytes (potassium, sodium, etc) to straighten out as well, as the kidneys start to filter things out of the blood.
God Bless him, he's had a hard road. He's on the way to recovery, it's just going to take some time.
