news update. 3:30 pm Monday,Abby here:
cardiologist will not do the invasive cath test. he is going to do test involving some radio active fluid that passes through the blood and enables the doctor to observe his heart over an hour.
they think his heart is much better. but a closer study will determine this. they put an order in to do this.
So we are now waiting for the kidney biopsy, the feeding tube switch over to his stomach, the radio active test for his heart. at some point (maybe today or over the next few days)  they will move him to another bed/room, a small step down where nurses have 4 patients instead of 2.
As soon as we know what room number, we'll post it on the blog. I think this is actually good, because they think he is stabilizing enough to be in less intensive care. he also was given ' boots' from the physical therapist josh, that Velcro on to help his feet. he can wear them for an hour or so at a time.

We got the cards here!!!!thank you Bill Prinzmetal, Sandy and Birch, and everyone in the department of psychology at Pomona college!!
