Prayers said in many states for baby By JAN DANFORD this problem, and Mrs. Beasley states that only 150 cases have been diagnosed in the entire country. 'Doctors have told me," says Betty Beasley, "that they know of only one adult with this same condition. It isn't known whether this 21-year-old woman had the problem as a baby and survived, or if she developed it later." Anthony remained in Children's Orthopedic Hospital for two weeks. No cure is known for his condition, and no treatment was given. "He takes phenobarbitol and vitamins," Mrs. Beasley remarks. "He visits the hospital every month, usually for a two or three day period. But he's been in and out the same day on the last two visits. People of many different faiths and from many different churches throughout the United States have banded together in prayer in an effort to save the life of six-month-old Anthony Beasley. Three weeks after his birth on August 25 the son of Betty and Bob Beasley of the Dayton area was sent to Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle. He had yellow jaundice. Blood tests and a liver biopsy disclosed a rare condition. An Alpha I Antitripson enzyme deficiency exists, according to the baby's mother, and Anthony's body lacks the gene to produce the enzyme. He is said to be one of only two babies in the Northwest to have ;:!! "MY BABY is in God's hand," says Betty Beasley. When It Comes To Real Estate Regulations, How Does Your Knowledge Stack Up?

"He seems to be stable, both physically and mentally. If there is pain, he accepts it. Perhaps it is because he has never known anytbing else. "Doctors offer no hope for Anthony's survival. In January they gave him five months to live if his liver continued to wbrsen. If the condition remains the same or improves, they think he might live to the age of eight or ten years. "His body burns up energy and is unable to store away much fat. He weighed six pounds four ounces at birth, and now weighs 11½ pounds. "The condition," Betty Beasley continues, "caused Anthony's liver to harden. This was first noticed in December and became worse in January. There was no improvement until after his baptism." When Anthony was three weeks old prayers were begun for him in the First Baptist Church of Shelton. As his condition became known, more and mor persons added their prayers. Bob Beasley came to Wiiliam and Lorene Crutcher of Shelton, and the Beasley family was invited to attend the Full Gospel Church in Quilcene. "There," says Lorene Crutcher, "people gathered around and laid hands on the baby. After that my husband and I and also Mr. and Mrs. Beasley called prayer groups throughout the United States to enlist their aid." When Betty Beasley telephoned Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Oklahoma the operator recognized the number and engaged Mrs. Beasley in a conversation about her son. The telephone operator instigated prayers within her own group. She called ten other groups to ask their prayers, and these groups in turn called still more prayer groups. Rex Humbard in Akron, Ohio was contacted, and also Jimmie Swaggart in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Calls went out to the Crutchers' relatives in St. Joseph, Missouri where they asked for prayers in churches. Betty Beasley telephoned the 700 Club, a religious TV program. The club contacted a local member, Helen Giddings. She notified the Reverend D.J. Maddux, who visited the Beasley home to pray with them. On February 26 Anthony Beasley and his four brothers and sisters were baptized in St. David's Episcopal Church. Anthony has a nine-year-old sister, Laurie. His brothers are Christoper, Samuel and Bobby, who are four, seven and ten years old, respectively. Members of many churches witnessed the baptism, and in other Shelton churches group prayers were said simultaneously. Anthony Beasley was taken to Children's Orlhopedic Hospital on the following day. "Re had gained a pound," says his molher, "and the liver was much sofler and more normal." Bob and Betty Beasley are filled with gratitude for the "However, if God chooses to many prayers that have been take him 1 will know that offered in their baby'sbehalf. Anthony has served a great "i believe," states Mrs. purpose in bringing so many Beasley, "that my baby is now people of the United States in God's hands.
