Her son\u00a0far superseded the doctor&#8217;s predictions, and went on to become a football captain, the prom king, citizen of the year for Sanger, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nightofsuperstars.org\/dfw-superstars\/\">Dallas Fort Worth Super Star<\/a>. And he has appeared\u00a0in a country music video.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are the ones that label the disabled. No where in the Bible does it say disabled,&#8221; said Mrs. Pyron. &#8220;That is a man-made label we chose to put on these kids.\u00a0Blake is removing boundaries for these kids.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Pyron explained that when Blake was born the family did not have blogs, Facebook or websites to go to and reach out to others with the same struggles. She said only one family she met had a child with Down syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just raised Blake like we raised our oldest son Mitchell,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;Downs was such a small part of Blake, and we knew God had plans for Blake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pyron\u00a0is like every other young man. He has a girlfriend, and wants to earn his own money to take her to the movies.\u00a0So, in October, Blake applied for a permit for his own business &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Blakes-Snow-Shack-106406239474779\/?pnref=story\" target=\"_blank\">Blake&#8217;s Snow Shack<\/a>.
