Perry upgraded to fair condition
Former Aiken High School, Clemson University and Chicago Bears defensive lineman William "The Refrigerator" Perry has been upgraded to fair condition at Aiken Regional Medical Centers.
The 46-year-old Perry 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.
ARMC 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.
Perry, whose brother Michael Dean Perry also played at Clemson after graduating from South Aiken High School, moved back to the Aiken area following his professional football career.
