Update: Britney Spears is resting peacefully at the UCLA Medical Center her mother said just hours after police escorted her to the hospital from her Beverly Hills home.

According to the L.A. Times, “Authorities said the welfare hold was prompted by a telephone call they received from Spear’s psychiatrist. It was unclear exactly when they had received the call, but it was apparent that the operation had been carefully planned over a period of time. Unlike the first welfare hold — in which Spears’ ambulance was closely pursued by a throng of photographers — vehicles today were blocked from following the same route. The motorcade that whisked Spears to the hospital also showed a large investment in resources. The line of emergency vehicles stretched longer than a football field.”

It is also being reported that there was a power struggle going on at the hospital in regards to who is making decisions on Britney’s behalf, between Lynne/Jamie Spears and Sam Lutfi. According to sources both wanted control but only one could have it. Sam has been making decisions for Brit-Brit for weeks now.

The power struggle has ended with the parents having control and working closely with UCLA hospital officials in the care of Britney Spears but a judge will most likely have the final say. Lynne Spears has made it in known that she wants to take her back home to Lousiana, which is exactly what she needs! According to one of her lawyers, Flanagan:

Lynne feels that the biggest problem facing Britney’s recovery is the circle of friends she’s become involved with and Lynne desperately wants to extricate her daughter from that. “Brit has an amazing support system in Louisiana,” Flanagan says, reinforcing the belief that Britney simply can’t get the help she needs while she remains in L.A. “Lynn was holding up reasonably well, but her first priority and concern right now is with her daughter and helping her through this very tough situation that she is in.”

My thoughts and prayers are with Britney Spears and her family and if anyone has any intentions other than to help her – may they be damned!
