Armenia has been warned that Artyom’s life expectancy is unknown due to an increased risk of skin cancer. But both were horrified when the physicians said they could keep him in the hospital if they did not believe they could care for him at home.
Mariam reported that Artyom occasionally attracted odd looks, but that others viewed him as “a gift from God.” Nevus birthmarks are removable, but they seldom cover eighty percent of the body as Artyom’s did. The majority of individuals were astonished upon seeing Artyom, while a few smiled at him. I was informed by a third party that he is a divine gift.
