Today was a big day for Britney Spears and un-doubtfully a stressful one. Does she ditch the conservatorship and tries handling life alone again or extends it and stay secured (& limited).

Well, following another day at court from which Britney was absent, Brit’s conservatorship was extended until the end of the year with a progress review scheduled for October 28th.

“The extension of the conservatorship was at the request and suggestion of Britney’s doctors,” says a source close to the singer. “They’ve indicated she’s made great improvement, but it’s a work in progress. Jamie Spears doesn’t want the conservatorship to last a day longer than the doctors recommend.” [source]

Jamie Spears (aka Britney’s dad), was named temporary conservator of Brit’s affairs on Feb. 1, this was after she went through 2 forced hospitalizations in January.

Britney Spears scored another landmark in court and in her recovery process, overnight visitations. In the hearing, held yesterday, the commissioner recognized and appreciated “Britney’s progress” and decided to extend her visitations.
