to Harley's Page Harley Rachelle Heichel Easter 97 This is my favorite picture of Harley! My Mom made her dress and hat :-) Harley on a harley in the Hard Rock Cafe, Tel Aviv Believe it or not, she wasn't named after the motorcycle... but it sure is fun telling Chris he already has a harley, no need for him to keep wanting one! Actually Harley was named after her Grampa and Great Grampa Harley Heichel... I wouldn't have thought of naming a girl Harley, but Chris's sister Tammy had picked out the name if she had daughter... so that's how we came up with the name "Harley". 
September '97 Harley and I went to Israel to visit my sister and see my new little niece. This picture was taken at a cafe on a street in Tel Aviv. I had a rough pregnancy with Harley and the first 6 months she was a really fussy baby... after she got moving around on her own, she's just brought so much joy and happiness to our home. Before Harley turned one, she had the RSV virus. I wasn't real familiar with it, but realized that it affected her breathing. The beginning of this winter Harley was hospitalized twice with difficulty breathing. We still are not sure if it was related to the RSV virus that she had last year or if she has asthma. It is so sad to see her struggle when she's trying to breathe. We now give her breathing treatments twice every day to prevent these attacks from happening and so far it's working!!! Here's a picture of Harley in the hospital... this is a good reminder that the extra work of the treatments is worth it! I hope to have some links to some asthma sites on here soon, for any parents that may have a child with asthma. I'm still learning lots about it. Come Back and Visit Soon ! I haven't updated pictures in a little while, but plan to soon. I have some cute pictures to scan to put on here.. stop back soon!
