Hi guys. I guess you’ve probably noticed my absence from the website recently. Well, I’ve finally felt good enough to post something. So here goes. I’ve been in the hospital for the last twelve days and I’m still not sure when I will get out. Hopefully soon. Hopefully. I’m definitely ready.
Unfortunately, I was pretty sick when I arrived. I started out with an infection that made its way into my transplanted kidney and then into my bloodstream. Not good. Not fun.
But what makes matters much more difficult is that for more than a year now, my transplanted kidney has not been doing it’s best. I chose not to tell anyone because I wanted to focus on being positive, but I’ve slowly had to come to terms that my kidney, the wonderful gift of life given to me more than eighteen years ago will not be with me forever. Actually, something I never really expected to happen. But I was so young when I received it and it has done so superbly over the years, I never had a reason to question its lifespan. I’ve learned recently however, that 18 years is fantastic for a transplanted kidney and even better since mine was from a deceased donor. I can’t tell you how hard it is to accept that I will have to let this kidney go. Feelings of letting my deceased donor down fill my heart with sadness.
But it is happening. And faster than I anticipated. Before getting sick two weeks ago, I had begun the process to be re-evaluated for another kidney transplant and to be added to the transplant waiting list. In the meantime, my mom is being tested to be a possible donor. I had thought I would have time to do all of this and hopefully have surgery and not skip a beat with my job or with this website that I enjoy sharing with you so much.
No such luck. Since I’ve been here, I’ve started dialysis to take some stress off my distressed kidney while it tries to heal. The hope is that I would be on dialysis for a short while, giving my transplanted kidney time to recuperate. Then, go off dialysis and try to squeak a few more months out before surgery is needed.
The alternative, though which is just as possible is that 1) I’ll be on dialysis until my mom is confirmed as a donor or 2) My mom is not a potential donor and then I would stay on dialysis while I wait on the list for a kidney to become available.
So that’s what’s been going on. That’s the reason for the lack of cake pops and cupcakes and cute. I just wanted to let you know something and thank everyone for their wonderful and inspiring get well wishes. You guys are a huge bright spot in my life. You have no idea how much.
Hugs,
Bakerella
Praying for a matching donor and a speedy recovery! Get well soon!!!
Sending a BIG prayer for you right now Sweet lady. You are so amazing to share your gifts and talents with the world. Please do NOT say another word about letting anyone down. What an amazing gift you received in a kidney, and what amazing gifts you give to others through your time and talents.
Love,
Melissa
Prayers and hugs going out to you and your family.
I started thinking about starting my own blog, but some (very) minor health problems and my kids’ activities always seem to get in the way. When I read your posting, I was amazed at what you’re going through while you were keeping such a positive attitude. My prayers are with you. I also want to thank you for making me realize that my issues are indeed very small. You are an inspiration. God bless you.
I wondered what was up , as I kept checking your site. Sending you prayers and lots of positive thoughts!

Hang in there. My kidneys failed 4 years ago and I’ve been on dialysis since while waiting for a transplant. 18 years is fantastic. I know it sucks that your transplant is failing but these moments make you appreciate life a little more and you have accomplished so much. Just focus on getting/feeling better. Your life will be waiting for you when you get back on your feet.
I was so sad to hear what you have been dealing with, I had noticed that you had not been on for awhile and thought that this was strange. I am hoping and praying for a speedy recovery and thank you for being so open with us. You are always such an inspiration with all your talented designs please take the time to recover and be well. Hugs and warm wishes

Prayers are with you. :0)
Of course our prayers are with you. I know a lot about the transplant stuff–my late husband had received four kidney transplants. Living by the numbers is so hard. Tom was a walking miracle-survived a lot of stuff. God bless you. Please contact me if you ever would like to “talk.” Was wondering what happened. If you would like me to get tested, I will. I know it is a long shot, matching up all that needs to be matched up, but I will do it anyway. Please contact the transplant center in San Diego. It has been too long since I was tested,so I don’t think the info would still be in the system. At the time, I was tested at UCSD medical center. My name was Tracey Kneller at the time. Contact me soon. We can get the ball rolling…..
Tracey
Good thoughts are being sent your way. Thank you for the update and for sharing with us all. We all love and support you!!

Dear, dear Bakerella,
Words fail and tears flow for you. Here’s hoping that the scores of heartfelt messages from your many, many admirers bring you comfort and encouragement. Please know that you and your mom are truly cherished.
I am fairly new to your blog, but that doesn’t diminish the fact that my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Sincere prayers and {hugs to you}. Thanks for all you do to bring joy to our lives. Too bad there’s not a medical duct tape that fixes all.
My prayers and best wishes are with you. Guess life can’t be all cake all the time…but you’ve spread so much joy with your cakes, I pray for a speedy solution for your health to get you back baking and sharing!

Hi from Brazil. Be strong and hold in there. Soon these difficulties will be put behind you and you will be able to go back doing what you love so much.
I imagine there are a lot of us “longtime readers but never responders” that felt compelled to reach out to you after reading this. May the thoughts of all of us bring you strength and comfort as you are in the hearts of so many, probably more than you can possibly realize.
prayers from Venezuela!!
I am new to your site and totally adore you. Your amazing inspiration and the “cute” you put in the kitchen fills me with ideas and fun. I wish you all the best. I will pray for you. My husband is a kidney donor. He gave his to his brother many years back. I understand where you are coming from and how hard it will be. Keep your chin up…….and know that we all give you a BIG virtual hug/kiss.
NOW GET BAKING………….the dessert Gods await! lol

XXOO
Bakerella, I hope and pray that everything goes well. My heart breaks when I hear about people being sick and being in the hospital, my daughter was very sick and was in childrens hospital central California for over 8 months, during her last month there she had to have her kidney and liver checked from all the meds she was on, scary times.
I will be praying for you.
Cecily
PS. You & your site had inspired me to start baking and we even started a family cupcake baking contest! Were having it this Saturday! Thank you so much for your sweet ideas!
I dont know whether you will be able to read through all of these comments….but maybe with your enforced rest time, you may. I hope that this message finds you better, it was so nice to see you blog again, and I could picture your cheery face (complete with dorky side wave!) while I was reading.
Good luck with all that comes in the future days, and I will be looking forward to any posts you are able to put up.
Prayers and blessings from me to you.
awww! hoping that you get a donor fast and wish that you have a fast and speedy recovery. my thoughts and prayer are with you. God Bless and take care!
We missed you. My prayers are with you. Please keep us up to date on what’s happening.
I’ll be praying and thinking of you.. for speedy recovery .You’ll be missed.
Hi Bakerella
I’m from Liverpool, England, and have been following your website since my sister showed me the cake pops about a year ago. I’m a recreational baker myself and she thought I would enjoy making something so unique. She was right and I’ve been so inspired by everything you make and your wonderful optimism.
I’m so sorry you’re going through a tough time right now. As you can see by all the comments people have been leaving there is a lot of love for you out there, spread out over continents. CONTINENTS! That’s quite a support group!
I really, really hope you get a match soon and that you can start feel better. I don’t think I’m saying anything different from the other thousand posts here, but know that you’re in all of our thoughts. Get well soon!
Big hugs and love. xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery!!
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Take care of you for a change. Maybe your “followers” will make some cakepops that we will share with you via fb to make you proud! Thanks for everything, keep your chin up and keep smiling!!
All the best,
m
Bakerella, I’m so sorry. I hope everything works out quickly so that you can get better. Lots of people are thinking about you. Get well soon.
Yuck. I’m sorry you are having such a yucky time right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I wish you a super fast recovery and our prayers will be with you. May God bless you and your family always. Big hugs
Bakerella…. should we call you that with such a personal note to us all and such a difficult subject? I’m a dialyisis nurse here in Florida. I missed you and thought you were being busy with your tour.. I’m so sorry that you are so ill… I know first hand what that is like. I wish I was there with you to lend a hand in the dialysis process…. the good thing in all of this is that there is dialysis to keep you going until your new kidney is available. Although. that does not stop the grieving on so many levels… but you are alive and while you wait, think up some new ideas and move forward.. You are well loved and thought of each and every day… It will all get better … we are all rooting for you waving cake pops in the air! xoxox Deborah
My heart is with you and I hope tht you recover speedily. Do you have a PO Box? I would love to send you a get well card!
Big (gentle) hugs!
~Rach
Oh Bakerella, I’m sorry to hear this is happening to you, I hope everything works out and that you you recover quickly!
Wishing you the best! Stay positive!
I hope your Mom is a match and you can have your surgery soon. My friend names her donated organs – she has had two pancreas and kidney transplants. Her one kidney was named Stella and she told us that Stella had lost her groove. It helps add a little humor to the boring time in dialysis.
Prayers for a speedy recovery!
i’m so sorry to read this news. hopefully everything will work out in the end! i’ll be thinking of you!
hang in there!!!! I know its hard but focused on the positive and keeping enjoying each and every day you have with your kidney. I have kidney disease too…..so my kidneys want to tell yours to stop horsing around and get back to business!
We miss you!=)Get well soon!I am sure everything will be alright!
I read your blog often but comment only some times. I would like to take this opportunity to say how much you have inspired me and my girls to bake more. Thank you for that, it is so wonderful.
I do hope that you are well soon and that your mom is a match for you or that you find a match. Be strong! We are thinking of you.
I found your website and tips some weeks ago, and I loved it. You are such a talented person….
I wish you all the best…you will get well soon, you’ll see!!
Kisses from Portugal.
Oh get well! Praying that all works out well, and quickly!
Please get well soon. You’ve brought so much sweetness to everyone. The world needs someone like you.
Wishing you well and my prayers are with you.
I am from South Africa and I have been reading your blog for about a year now. I was so concerned when I did not see any posts for the past couple of weeks. I have never commented before but I need to tell you that you are such a bright and positive person, you actually shine. You always make me smile (side smile and wave he he). Please know that you make a big difference in the lives of so many people and as I can see all the messages, so many people all over the world are praying for you and thinking of you. I will be thinking of you. Sending you a BIG virtual hug.
my prayers for you and your mom your such an inspiration to so many especially me hang in there your in all our hearts my morning starts with you at 5:30am on my computer when I get up take care
Virtual Hugs from an italian super fun. wishing you all the best

=( I know what its like to be in the hospital and feeling horrible and its good to know that you’re keeping positive. Does being on dialysis mean you can’t eat baked goods or can we send you some get well soon yummy-ness?
Much love to you, hope all works out okay xx
BIG HUGS!!! We love you Bakerella!! You will be in our thoughts and prayers! XoXo
You are a bright spot in my life! Best wishes from Australia! You are such a strong amazing woman and I truly hope you get a donor soon.

Lots and lots of love and prayers,
~Saee
Abrazos. ¡Ánimo!
I have never posted before – so here it goes. You are such an inspiration to my parents. My mother has been a cake decorator since I can remember. She wanted to start her own business but needed something to set her apart- then I found YOU – your website, ideas, and joy of life have brought a new beginning to my parentd and made my mother’s dream come true. I know that you will make it through this. You don’t know us but we are here and behind you every step of the way.
Prayers for you for healing and bright spirits during your wait. I can only imagine your anticipation over the days ahead. Know you are being lifted up…thanks for bringing us joy, we hope to do the same for you : )
I’m so sorry, Bakerella! Best wishes for a fast recovery!
Eva
I wish you all the best for your health and keep my fingers crossed for you!
Greetings from Austria/Europe!
Sonja
Oh my,
you are so brave!! I wish you all the best!! Get well soon!
You are in my prayers!
xo. Nadine
18 years is unbelievable for a transplanted kidney, so you have been incredibily lucky. My mom’s lasted less than 3 years! :(
Hope you feel much better soon and that everything goes well!
Prayers and well wishes for your health and your mom being a donor match coming your way right now.
I visit frequently but have never let a comment until now. Just letting you know that you’re being prayed for. You’re a real inspiration to many, we would hate to see you unwell. Here’s hoping that you recover soon.
Wish you a all the best, hope everything goes smoothly for you and your mum!
Hi, From Australia ,my prayers are with you even though we are so far away I pray you get well..
Stay positive. My best friend is a kidney transplant recipient so I know how careful you have to be all the time. Any infection is really hard to fight because of all that transplant stuff. Dialysis is not sweet, but it sure beats leaving this mortal coil. Trust your doctors and nurses. May your friends and family visit you often as you recover. You will recover. Probably someone else actually could keep your business and website functioning; although they really will need to update the supporters as you improve. I send positive thoughts through the internet directly to you.
I’m very sorry to hear that you are ill. Your website is incredibly inspirational and you bring a lot of joy into people’s lives through it. I pray that you will soon recover and send you all the best through this difficult time.
You may not realize this, but you are a gift to the world. What you do makes so many people happy, and I know that you will overcome this. Thanks for being such an inspiration. Hugs and prayers being sent your way.
All my love from Spain. Get better soon!
Sending prayers and good thoughts your way. I have a feeling that you’ll be back baking and writing in no time. :)
Dear Bakerella,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!!
Get well soon and take care.
Big hugs from Sandra from Holland.
Thinking of you and praying for a successful match/surgery/recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Organ donors ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs from across the miles and remain your amazing positive self, i hope you are back on the mend very son x
So sorry to hear this news. I’m sure your donor would be thrilled to see what you’ve been able to do with his/her kidney! Can you imagine giving someone 18 years of life? It would feel wonderful. Sending good vibes your way for the best possible outcome!
All the best, i wish you will get well soon!
Praying that you get better and that a donor, whether your Mom or someone else, is found soon.
I hope you get better as soon as possible, and that you’ll live a long and happy life. The world would be a darker place without your cake pops!
My prayers and best wishes are sent your way.
Sending you aloha and best wishes for a speedy recovery … hope your Mom is a perfect match!
Sending you all of the get well vibes and good juju as can be imagined! Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of cake pops! And you Pancake Puffs are the bee’s knees!!

Get well soon, sweetie! We’ll be thinking of you!!!
Hope and pray for your quick recovery, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I’m been a lurker for a long while and adore your work and admire your creativity. Just wanted to say that and tell you I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts. ((hugs))
Wish you the best of luck, it really sucks to be stuck in the hospital not knowing when you are getting out.. I’m sending you all the good vibes..
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hope you get better really soon! We miss our Bakerella!
Your creative, inspiring posts are sorely missed, but not nearly as much as your sweet face and beautiful zest for life. As I sit here feeling sorry for myself 4 days post back surgery, I realize that I have nothing to complain about. You have filled my web surfing with such joy over the past two years, and I selfishly never thanked you. You are sorely missed Bakerella, and we all look forward to seeing something new from your creative hands; but more than that we look forward to hearing that you are doing well, with a healthy kidney, and a happy heart. Your fans love you and will pray for you. Hopefully we can bring you some of the joy and smiles you’ve brought us over the years. *hugs*. Be well!
