Doctors told him to check his wife into a nursing home. Instead, he wheeled her around the world


North Haven, Connecticut (CNN) When Andy Fierlit's wife suffered a brain aneurysm 27 years ago, doctors urged him to admit her to a nursing home. But Fierlit wanted to make their life ordinary again -- or even extraordinary -- so he embarked on a mission to show her the world. Since then, Andy and Donna Fierlit have visited all seven continents -- more than 20 countries, so far -- with Andy doing the pushing while Donna, who is partially paralyzed, rides in a wheelchair. "I made a promise to her that we would go on to work out as best a life as possible," Andy tells CNN. Donna and Andy Fierlit make memories while on vacation in San Diego.
