After the shower,Jamie Lynn was driven back to her home in Mississippi with her boyfriend, and the father of her child, Casey Aldridge.

Britney hadn't been back to Kentwood since her aunt's funeral early last year, well before her dramatic hospitalisation and ongoing custody battles over sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

She was joined by her father Jamie while on her travels. He remains in legal control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.
