Brandon Kelley "is doing real well,” said Larry Kelley, the boy's grandfather.

Brandon received 22 staples in the back of his head, stitches to his ear and treatment for a cut on his cheek, he said.

"He has no broken bones. All the CT scans came back normal, and his back is scraped up real bad,” Kelley said.

Mistie Kelley, 30, Brandon's mother, died as a tornado ripped through town, leveling the home where she hid with Brandon and her husband, Jack.

Jack Kelley suffered four broken ribs, three broken vertebrae, a split spleen, multiple abrasions and a bruised kidney, and remains in the intensive-care unit, Larry Kelley said.
