The Fridge - yup, William Refrigerator Perry. Former Chicago Bear. Da Bears! Did you know he was a local guy here in Aiken. Born and raised :) Being a 'football girl' I knew it before we even moved here!
Well, he has been in the hospital for the past couple of weeks - but thankfully this morning his condition has been upgraded to 'fair'. He had been in 'serious' condition - so this upgrade is great news. He is suffering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves. Here is the story from our local newspaper. The Aiken Standard.
He is a very nice man. I've had the opportunity to speak with William on many occasions. I used to work part-time for Bi-Lo (a local grocery store for those who don't know, lol) We would chit chat from time to time when he would come down the aisle I happened to be stocking at the time. One time we bumped into eachother at the Columbia Airport - it was funny - he was like, Kara?? Wait! Shouldn't you be at Bi-Lo, hahaha. He was actually on his way to one of the Super Bowls - heading out about a week early, and I was meeting clients on an arriving flight.
Let's keep the Fridge in our thoughts (and prayers if it applies to you) to beat this disease, and have a speedy and complete recovery.
