James Carl Habeck was born February 9th 2012 to Jim and Melissa Habeck and 4 older siblings, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Due to his traumatic birth, he suffered severe brain damage due to lack of oxygen. He suffered from seizures, was put on a cooling system and had breathing assistance. The outlook from doctors was bleak at best. But, James was a fighter and continued to persevere. He is now almost 4 years old and he has cerebral palsy, but his little light shining from within touches everyone he meets. Cerebral palsy is not curable, but there is treatment available to give him a better quality of life. In 2015 I headed up his Team James fundraiser and we were able to raise all the funds to send him to Panama for stem cell treatment that is not currently available in the U.S. Since his treatment in Panama, the effects are very noticeable by all who know him. He is more aware of things around him, he is able to follow people and use his head to look where he is interested. He is able to sit up unassisted for short periods of time, he is trying to vocalize more, he hasn’t been as prone to getting sick, he is trying to use his hands more, standing/walking (assisted) more, he is able to eat solid food without choking, among other things. These are huge life improvements for him and we hope to see more with treatment again this summer. We hope you will consider being a part of this fundraiser in some way, even if it is just to pray for James and his family.
