Scott's Blog

*** sent to my e-mail, Nov 11th ***

Steve and I still can't believe that something like this has happened.
We have been trying for days to send this message but can't find any words. I guess it's because we want to say something that will change things or make things better but knowing that we can't do that.

Since we heard the news, we find that we are thinking back in time to Charlie's IP days. Steve and I will always associate Scott with the "Charlie Shuffle". We saw how determined that you were to get him skating. I can still picture him heading down the length of the rink at his own pace with his own goal in mind and you cheering him on. God knows it took Charlie a long time (really long time!) but he got there. In some way this not unlike to the road ahead for you and your family. Please know that just as you supported Charlie, we are here to
support yourself, Kristy and the boys.

Claude knows where to find us, don't hesitate to ask if there is anything we can do.

That is great news. Keep strong Scott we are thinking about you.
Hugs all round!

Thank you for sharing this spark of hope with us. Actually, it's more than a spark... it's damned good news. Soldier on, Scott. You'd be amazed what sheer force of will can do.

Scott, we are so glad to hear this great news...for as long as I've known you through many sports, your resolve, determination and competitive spirit have always been your stronger characteristics. Keep up the great work!

Slowly our prayers are being answered. Keep the faith and keep up the hard work. That is wonderful news. One day at a time but you'll get there! I'm thrilled for you all at hearing this progress.

Kirsty, Scott and family,

Louisane broke the news about Scott's accident. We have not seen you in a long time but we always have up-dates on how you are doing. I was shoked to hear what happened to Scott. Please know that we are thinking about you!

Lots of hugs,
Neil & Nathalie Henderson (Maxwell & James)

Good work, Scott! Kent knows you much better than me, but I know you are a fighter. Keep up the good fight!! We are so thrilled with the progress you are making! You have so many people thinking and praying for you.

Kirsty...I see you have family and good friends helping you with everything you need. I can't imagine what your family is going through. My heart goes out to you all.

Until I can find a job I am a "kept" woman so I have nothing but time on my hands...I am at your disposal. Grocery shopping, house cleaning, laundry...whatever you or your family don't have the time or energy to do let me know.

God speed...
Andrea and Kent

Absolutely great news, Like we used to say, Time to open up a can of whoop ass. Keep up the fight.

Great news!!

Hang in there Scotty!!!

Kirsty I just heard the news and I am praying for all of you. If there is anything Dave or I can do please let us know. I know your not a bark eater but I can cook other things and would be happy to drop them where ever it would best suit you and your family. Thinking of you and Scott.
Warmest Regards Joan and Dave

Great news! Keep up the good fight Scott. We're all in your corner. Kirsty, please call me if you need anything at all. Brent has a lot of contacts in industry that we can utilize if needed. Take care, Karey & Brent

Keep the faith Scott! We're ALL pulling for you!

This is nothing short of fantastic news. One day at a time. Scott, again your "never give up" attitude is showing through.
Keep up the fight.

Dear Kristy & Scott,
Since I heard of the accident last week, I have been keeping you both in my thoughts and close to my heart. All the positive energy I can muster is being sent in your direction.

Scott, this is wonderful news. From everything I hear and am reading about you, I get that you are a strong-willed, determined, and goal-oriented man.

You have the strength of your lovely wife, your sweet boys, all your family and many less-known well-wishers behind you. Take all that into your heart and mind and push on, push on...

Dear Scott, keep up the good work. Kirsty, to help speed up recovery Don and I are going to get a "Leaf Jersey" (they're in abundance again this year). When Scott is in need of motivation...suggest putting it on him...sorry Scott...ya I now...cruel,
however not unusual... you still see people wearing this thing! Take care...the MacIsaac's.

Hi, it's Hugh and Terry's daughter Kailee. I just wanted to let you know that everyone at home is praying for Scott. I know you didn't stay long, but I really enjoyed the company of you and your family. . . and I must say that you are some
of the nicest people I know. Just remember that "the greatest healing therapy is friendship and love" and I know that Scott is getting plenty of that. Best wishes and lots of love.
xoxo Kailee and the MacIsaac family.

Kirsty and Scott,

This is tremendous news! Well done Scott, you must be so proud of this progress and we are so happy to hear this positive news. I hope you keep drawing strength from each other and don't forget to lean on all of us too! We are all here for you - even though you don't know some of us personally. Will keep you in our thoughts always.
Karen and the boys

Scott - I add my prayers to all the others that are being said. I'll continue to watch your progress here and cheer for each step you take forward.

Scott,

I believe in miracles. Your positive and outgoing manner will stand you in good stead - along with prayers from family and friends. ( I know - I've been there.)

We were delighted to hear about your latest progress and we monitor the site daily. We are keeping you, Kirsty, Tanner, Coby and Rhyss in our thoughts and prayers.

Hello, my friend; You’re on my mind,
Because you're somehow ailing,
But your response to any challenge
Has always been unfailing.
So I’m confident you’ll win again;
Hang in there, and you’ll see;
You’ll be back on top in no time,
Tackling life courageously.

POEM By J.Fuchs

Scott,My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I hope you get better soon.

Edgar Guanzon

Scott, so proud of you buds. Stay strong and motivated...you will beat this. This is great news. Your MacIsaac family is all praying for ya, not that Hugh has much credibility in that department, but he does have excellent motivational techniques.

Scott old boy,

I just got put on to the blog by I friend and while saddened greatly by the news, I wanted to wish you our thoughts and prayers from Florida. Yeah, I know a hardship tour! Get well. Treena, the kids and I will keep you all (or y'all as they say it here) in our thoughts and prayers.
Cheers,
Rick (The skinny one with the great setters hands!)

Kirsty and Scott,

Great news buddy. Reminiscing about the days we played soccer for base Kingston. You were always leading by example and you always harped on the young guys about never giving up even when they were dead tired. I know you Scott and I know you have that fighting spirit in you. That is why you will beat this and hopefully some day we will play soccer together again.

Keep fighting Scott...and we'll see you at Christmas...maybe with the potato gun

Love Carly and Bernie

My prayers have been with you since I heard the news.
Things haven't been the same at CFCMU since you left. Nobody wants to organize "Adventure Training" anymore. Remember the West Coast Trail and the canoe trips? Thanks for
insisting I go along. You made this "Old Fart" have a good time in spite of himself. You're a great guy Scott, keep fighting.
I'll be in to see you soon

Max Bishop

Scott:

Many people are thinking of you among the Kingston Cougar alumni.

Keep strong buddy we will be following your progress.

Brian McIntyre

We heard your news from my brother Dan, thru Sylvia. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so glad to read about the new developments and to learn that your parents are there with you. We can't offer you much physical support from BC, like the other postings I have read, but please know that we are thinking of your family all of the time and know that the news will continue to get better and better. My mom sends her love too.

All of our love and support
Donna, Darren, Emma and Ryan Purych

Scott,

Great to hear the great news. Keep up the little steps, I hope to see you running soon!!! Don't give up the fight buddy.

kyle joyce

Scott, you're a hero, a champion, an inspiration, the standard, a role model and a gift. Please allow me to explain each of these a little further...

You're a hero to anyone who has ever been struck down (by any illness) for not giving up.

Your'e a champion for the cause. Christopher Reeves was known by many around the world, but in our books Scott: You're our hero!

You're an inspiration to us all with your " I'm not finished yet" attitude.

You are the standard for what it takes to be a friend judging by the support of the many, many well-wishers here.

You're a role model for your ability to bring out the best in people around you.

And you're a gift to us all for just merely having met you.( I might add that the value of that gift goes up with how well each of us knows you, but bear in mind though, that it starts pretty high!)

Note: this may not come across as well as it sounded in my head, but know that the intent was to praise Scott for his spirit and his affect on any who know him. Hopefully this does not put him on too high of a pillar, but regardless, I believe his values keep him grounded enough.

The human spirit is incredibly tenacious and can provide the 'push' needed when push comes to shove. I also know Scott that you are able to tap into that resource for all that it's worth.

We can't do much for you physically at the moment - this is your fight - but know that we are cheering for you as hard as we can in all the ways we know how.

It does not go without saying (therefore I will say it!) that I am extremely (I wish I could underline that word) happy with this latest news of your progress. Kirsty: Thank you for giving us this. It is a beacon of hope and reassurance for the many out here in the cheering section.

God speed, Scott, God speed.

We miss you and are praying for you. I will get a hatrick for you. Get well soon.Dylan #9.

Joanne & Roy Morgan

Hi Scott, Kristy and family,
Great news on your progress. As always, you are in our hearts and prayers. As I always told you Scott, "Show me a good loser and I will show you a loser". Scott, you were always a winner and I'm sure you will win this battle too. As always, I'm on your team and rooting for you.

Jim Dempsey

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. We are so pleased you are making progress,
Scott. Keep fighting.

Hi Scott & Kristy..

Great to hear that some progress is being made! I couldn't believe the news when I heard and I wish nothing but a speedy & healthy recovery for Scott. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

Take care,

I know alot has changed for you on October 31, but let me remind you on what will NEVER change no matter what. Scott you are an excellent soldier, that will never change. Scott you are an excellent father, that will never change. Scott you are an "alright" husband (according to Kirsty ) Sorry buddy couldn't use excellent there Scott you are an excellent cook, that will never change. (that includes bartender) Scott you are an excellent athlete, that will never change. (except for golf, you don't get the nickname divots for nothing oh, and skiing, I have seen you have some of the best face plants, one from Mt. Baker always come to mind when you popped the wine skin )
Scott you are excellent in volunteering your time to the community of Kingston ( fire fighting and coaching ) that will never change. Scott you are an excellent family man and friend, that will never change. Thats evident by reading the other bloggs on this page. ( thank you Claude )
Scott because of all the reasons I have mentioned any many more I have not, I am proud to call you one of my best friends, and that WILL NEVER CHANGE!! Stay strong, fight hard, don't give up and I'll see you in a couple of days.
Mellicent and I send our prayers.

Love Kevin
