Peaceful Day

Today went by quickly and peacefully. Karin had some appetite today (though still a purely liquid diet), was in good spirits and well animated. She didn't get out of bed today though.. basically just because the nurse never pushed it, but the bed was up in a sitting position most of the day. She can move her arms and legs well, but at the end of the day she started feeling a bit stuck to the bed and actually getting interested in getting out, but she was able to shift around a little and start to feel better, and then the kids came to visit before bedtime and after they left she fell asleep. She's looking very good and definitely gaining strength.
