Congenital Rubella Syndrome?


What is a person's life expectancy if they have Congenital rubella syndrome?

i don't have an "official" answer to this question - I grew up with a guy - Henry - who had it. he was awkward, gawky, clumsy, uncoordinated, but was on of my best friends. I haven't seen him in many years (i should call him) I know that today, he's 44 and one of the richest guys in town. I have only fond and warm memories of him, though a lot of people laugh at him for his physical deficiencies. He was always one of my favorite people and a very good friend. life expectancy? i don't know, but the time I had Henry in my life made me a better person. (it's not the quantity, it's the quality)
