At end of July mother's hair follicle test is positive for cocaine but at a lower level than the April test. Caseworker notes that recent urine tests are negative and that mother has been weaned off of methadone.

The hearing is uneventful. There is a lawyer covering for ours (who is out due to medical issues). We had prepared to testify for custody but do not. It is stated in court that the ICPC study had not been received but court stamps later show it was received several days before the court hearing.

I opt not to visit with Cookie so as not to upset her again at the end of the visit like last time.
