Infant who survived Tenn. tornado grows up fast

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A year after a firefighter found him thrown into a muddy field by the tornado that killed his mother, toddler Kyson Stowell is getting ready to celebrate his second birthday.

His incredible survival was one of the most comforting stories to emerge from the misery caused by a string of tornadoes that killed 59 people and splintered homes and businesses in five Southern states last Feb. 5.

"God just saw fit for Kyson to be in our lives," his grandmother Kay Stowell said.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed occasional mischief-maker will have cake and ice cream for his second birthday on Feb. 16, an event that's as heartwarming as it is improbable.

Rescuers found Kyson face-down and motionless in a rural field northeast of Nashville strewn with splintered lumber, couches and toys, about 100 yards away from his mother's body. But the infant was OK, needing only two days of hospital treatment for scrapes and a collapsed lung.

Now, Kyson's talking, and he likes four-wheelers and dump truck toys. He watches videos about a little brown bear and the alphabet. And, at 33 inches tall and 28 pounds, he's big enough to occasionally get himself into trouble.
