Hi Everyone!
Are you ready for today’s HIIT workout? I did this workout two days in a row due to some technical difficulties while uploading the workout. It is a great 15 Minute HIIT workout, that will work your entire body, help you burn fat & have you working up a sweat in no time. The video and workout breakdown are below.
The first time I did this workout my sister was labor, delivering my nephew Dax. Immediately after filming (and showering), I headed down to the hospital to wait for Dax’s arrival. As I headed down I got the news that there were some complications. Dax has Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS). He is in critical care at the NICU, and has a nurse assigned to him 24 hours per day. His lungs are filled with Meconium so he is unable to breath on his own. He has an oscillating ventilator to help him breath & keep his lungs open. My sister, Jessica, and my brother-in-law, JJ, are allowed down to the NICU to see him any time day or night.
I just got home from visiting my nephew, Dax, in the NICU. He was born yesterday afternoon and is having some problems with his lungs and breathing. He is strong & I believe that he will make a full recovery. My sister, Jessica, and brother-in-law, JJ, are staying strong and spending time bonding with Dax and letting him know how loved he is. Any prayers, thoughts or well wishes that you can send their way are greatly appreciated. I will pass it on to them on. This baby is already a survivor and a warrior in my eyes, and he is surrounded by so much love. ❤ #PrayersForDax #GetWellDax
When I got home from the hospital the day he was born, I tried to upload the video for this workout. As I was uploading it the video & all of the photos completely deleted from both my computer and the camera card. My first thought was “at least this is fixable. I can just re-film.” Yesterday, I got home from work, re-filmed the workout and went to visit my nephew in the NICU.
I am hoping that the same applies to my beautiful nephew. At least this is fixable. The nurses and doctors are taking such good care of him, and his lungs have shown improvement on the x-rays already. He is a big, strong boy (21 inches, 8 lbs, 13 oz). He is already surrounded by so much love.
Thank you to each and every one of you that has sent prayers, thoughts and well-wishes. I will keep you updated on Dax’s progress.
Let’s get stronger together, and will some of that strength to my nephew in his recovery. Thank you all.
Melissa
