I am free Monday at 13:00 EDT or Tuesday at 15:00 EDT. Do these times
work for you?

While looking into it I found that GRHydro automatically discards negative values of rho and replaces them with rho_abs_min, and I can't set rho_ans_min to a negative value because they are ignored according to the documentation.

I have some experience with rewriting thorns for my own purposes but GRHydro isn't as simple as the thorns I've been changing.
