Before moving to Houston I spent a few years working with Heart and Lung Transplant patients in Birmingham. Simply the most rewarding job I ever had. I learned so much and grew so much as a person. One of the toughest parts of leaving Birmingham was leaving my job there. I met the most interesting patients during my time there, many of which I still think about often and keep in touch with.
One of my patients that I have often thought of recently tracked me down on Facebook. I never liked seeing him in the hospital, because that generally meant he was sick, although I always had wonderful conversations with him and his wife. He sent me the link to his blog, which I found very captivating. I just have to share. He is truly a man that has walked a hard road, but uses his hardship to help others.

Dedication
We have been quite "busy" the last few days / weeks, preparing for the arrival of Tekla's little brother. Thomas Bowden (BODE) Borski was born 3/16/2010 at 1130 am. He weighed 7 pounds 11 ozs and was 20 inches long. Now we are resting in CA until our trip back to Texas.
While I'm posting a picture of Bode... this post isn't about him... it is about the unsurpassed dedication of a special lady and her fantastic family. Without which Tekla and Bode would not be with us today.
Melinda is an angel sent from heaven. We are so glad she came into our lives. Through our first trying journey she stuck out the hard times, even when pre-eclampsia required Tekla to arrive early. She went through so much during that time, and it fact put her own health in danger to give us our precious daughter. During that ordeal I said I would never ask another women to go through what she did for us to have a family.
Once again, her dedication to seeing us have our family complete persevered. She sought the medical opinion of many doctors and was determined to help us reach our goal. Now, after an incredibly smooth pregnancy and a long arduous labor, she has blessed us with Bode.
Her unselfishness has been unparalleled. With her wonderful family by her side she has done something I myself cannot fathom. She is and always will be a special person and a member of our family. Her generosity will one day be rewarded in ways that cannot be done in this lifetime.
WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MELINDA!!!
