'Fridge' Perry upgraded to fair condition in S.C. hospital

 

AIKEN, S.C. -- Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman William "The Refrigerator" Perry has been upgraded to fair condition in a South Carolina hospital.

Perry, 46, has been hospitalized for two weeks to deal with complications from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves. He had previously been listed in serious condition.

Perry's relatives have said he was expected to recover.

Aiken Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Melissa Summer said Monday she could offer no additional details about Perry's hospital stay.

The 300-pound-plus defensive tackle played for the Bears' 1985 Super Bowl team and helped lead Clemson to the 1981 national championship.

I had no idea that he had this condition. Is this something caused by football, or is it something that develops naturally?

As a Packer fan I am thrilled to read this.  Keep on Keeping on Fridge, we need you.  If all NFL conducted themselves like you, the NFL would be in better shape (pun not intended).  Hope you are out of the hospital soon.  You may have played for the Bears but I will not hold it against you.  I really liked that ...(more)

I met the Fridge about 15 years ago at Six Flags in Gurnee. He was a nice guy. He held a conversation for a good 15 minutes. He was good natured, once people figured out who he was everyone wanted an autograph or picture taken. He stood around until for a good 30 minutes just for that. He had a pleasent personality and a warm smile. GET WELL SOON!!!!
