AIKEN, S.C. (AP) - Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman
William "The Refrigerator" Perry has been upgraded to fair
condition in a South Carolina hospital.
The 46-year-old Perry has been hospitalized for two weeks to
deal with complications from Guillain-Barre (gee-LAN' bah-RAY')
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. The
Bears said they would continue to monitor Perry's condition.
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.
