Healed from Paralysis

I'll write for my grandfather, who has already passed on. In the 1950's, my grandfather worked in New Orleans picking up and delivering laundry to homes. He had a terrible accident, and my father, 5 years old at the time, recalls my grandfather pulling himself up the steps to their shotgun style home. He was admitted to Charity Hospital, where my father remembers being smuggled up the back staircase to visit his dad. It was confirmed that he was paralyzed... he would never walk again. Despite this news from the doctors, my grandfather prayed fervently through the night. That night, he saw Jesus, shining brightly before him. The Lord said, "Joseph, get up and walk." My grandfather was healed, and shared his testimony repeatedly over the years.
