Done Deal.

Monday was our big court day and I'm thankful to say it went off without a hitch, well almost. Mom was in good spirits throughout the day, for the most part. Her attorney met with her in the morning then the two of them went to lunch at McDonald's before our court time of 1:30.  Mom enjoyed the outing with her. The court appearance only lasted 10 min. The judge ruled that everything was going well and that we wouldn't need to make any other court appearances. YAY! This was even better than we had anticipated. From now on we will only need to file a yearly financial report which our attorney will bring to court for us.  This is a big load off our shoulders since to appear in court requires a 6 hour drive.

The one glitch came when we (me, my sister, our attorney, and mom) had to file the court papers in the courthouse.  There were several copies of papers to be signed, stamped, etc.  Then my sister and I were both handed the finalized papers.  Mom wanted to see the papers.  I hesitated for a bit, then handed the papers to her.  She read through them and became "concerned & agitated" once again about her money.  This was what we had feared might happen.  She left the courthouse with my sister and my understanding is that they had quite a rocky afternoon, and Mom is still a bit annoyed with my sister, though she can't really remember exactly why.  This will pass in a couple of days and should be something we won't have to deal with again since we no longer have the need to make court appearances.

There were also some times of fun during our stay in Tulsa.

My Sister, Mom, Me.
Mom looks great, don't you think?!

Also, let the record show that Mom does great on road trips. She's the best traveler of any of us!  Me?  After a couple of hours in the car I feel like a caged animal!  Glad the trip is behind us and all is well on the Bayou.
