He should get a Doctors note for time off so he has time to recover fully because if he goes back too soon he may need even more time off to recover. That way everything is clear and no one is upset with last minute rescheduling to cover, especially during the holidays but if he comes back sooner because he's healing quickly then I am sure they would appreciate the help. My work requires a Doctors note to say how long we need off AND a Doctors note to say we are cleared to come back to work.
Because Christmas falls on a Sunday this year ( and New Years) many places are closed on the Monday to compensate. If that's the case where he works then he may have an extra day.
As much as you want to be with him it will be nice for you to be with your family and then he can rest knowing you are in good hands and it gives his family a chance to step in and help him out.
