El Paso – Hospital Checkup

May 12th, 2009

Country GrillAfter lunch at our favorite restaurant in Van Horn, Country Grill, Ken called A&A Repair to learn that the motor home was fixed and ready to hit the road.  The manager of Super 8 agreed to drive Ken to the repair shop while I called the Comfort Inn in El Paso to see if we could get the same rate $35.00 rate we had while we were there before.

Comfort Inn was very willing to work with us and were a big help.  We booked a room for tonight and tomorrow night with an option for Wednesday night depending on how the visits with the doctors go.Vipul Patel, Ken and Sandra Luna
Before leaving town, we took a picture with the manager from Super 8 – Vipul Patel and Sandra Luna.  Sandra recognized the motor home from the local news!  It has been fun to meet so many people that have heard Danny’s story through his television appearances in El Paso.

We filled up with gas and took a few last pictures of Country Grill.  We had become regulars and were going to miss the place that always greeted us with a warm smile.  We gained an hour as we traveled back to El Paso.  When we got there, we grabbed some dinner and went to visit Danny in the hospital.

When we got there, Danny was grabbing some much needed sleep.  We didn’t want to wake him so we checked on him every ten minutes or so.  Finally, after an hour and a half, visiting hours were over and we went to check in at Comfort Inn.  Luckily for us, Comfort Inn was only a mile away from Danny’s hospital.

We are relaxing tonight and will venture over to the hospital in the morning to visit with Danny and see how he is doing.  We will be posting a slide show that includes the best pictures we have taken so far.  Hope you like it!
