Middle Boy had the first part of his psychiatric evaluation today.  He said he thought it went well.

I was told earlier today that it is a two part evaluation.  Middle Boy told me during visitation that it is a two part evaluation, but that the evaluator isn't going to do the second part until he admits he did some of the charges.  Why does that matter?  The evaluator told him that the judge ordered the evaluation during the wrong phase of the trial so no one is paying for it.  What difference does it make?  It is court ordered.  He is a ward of the state. 

Middle Boy said he told him "fine it did a little of it" so now the evaluator is coming back later in the week.  I hope that doesn't come back to bite him.  He said he wasn't specific.  I'm sure he wasn't.

Middle Boy is in better spirits.  There is a glimmer of hope that he will come home on Tuesday.

Prayers for this to go smoothly.
