I can tell from the names of the judges that this is a family case pending in Los Angeles in the central district in the Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

"Held" means a hearing was held. Order made means the judge made an order. You need to get a copy of that order. The judge could have granted the motion, denied the motion, or made some other order halfway in between. Are you back in the United States?
