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
I have missed your posts … Simply assumed you were busy!! I am terribly sorry!!! Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time!!
Take care
Oh, I was so afraid something like this (not you know, THIS this…but a bad illness) was happening! You’ve got spunk and spirit and strength to get you through, tho!
Here’s to hoping your mom is a perfect match!!
Goodness! All I can hope is that you get a donor soon (and hopefully a living donor…fingers crossed that your mom works out!) and start healing and getting better….we all miss your cake-pop cuteness and sugar-filled posts!! One of my co-workers donated a kidney not even two weeks ago (she just got home from hospital on the weekend) and her recipient is doing great…so I know it can happen for you, too :o) We’re pulling for you!!
I hope things work out well, and quickly for you!
Thinking and praying for you! I went to Starbucks this morning and saw they are selling Cake Pops, so I automatically thought of you! May your spirits remain lifted and know that you are getting warm thoughts!
What an ordeal! Sending you thoughts and prayers. Don’t worry about the lack of cupcakes and cute, we will be here when you are well. Just focus on that kidney of yours.
Praying for you…and your kidneys!
Feel better soon, Ms. Bakerella! You seem like you have a lot of fight in you, so don’t give up! Stay positive, never lose hope, and trust that the Lord will provide! :) Much love!
sending hugs!!!!
WOW! U will be in my prayers… hope for a quick & full recovery!!
Best wishes for a fast recovery!
Get well. We love you Bakerella! :)
I’m from India, an avid reader of your blog and I’ve never commented before either. You are such an inspiration! Just want to let you know that you are in my prayers and here’s wishing you a speedy recovery.
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that you are not doing well! Prayers for the best for you!
(Long time reader, first time commenter) My best wishes and positive thoughts for you Bakerella. Don’t let this get you down. I know you website has cheered me up on numerous occasions, I hope all these wonderful comments do the same for you.
I too was hoping you were on an extended book signing adventure or creating wonderful things to share. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I met you in SF just a few short weeks ago and you were so sweet with myself and the little girls that were in awe of you and your work. Hang in there and know that there are a LOT of fans sending you big hugs.
I’m so sorry to hear your news.
My husband recently was hospitalized for a week because he was unknowingly in kidney failure. He’s a-ok now.
And a friend of mine’s brother is currently getting dialysis.
Now you!
I’ve never been so aware of what havoc kidneys could cause until 2011.
I’m sending my best wishes, prayers and unicorn magic sparkles!
I knew something was wrong when you didn’t post anything for so long. I had hoped it wasn’t your health. You are a very strong woman and you will get through this like a trooper. I am thinking of you and sending get well soon thoughts your way. It’s amazing how a person can feel like they know someone they’ve never met just by following their blog. I hope you are up on your feet making cake pops again soon with a brand new kidney working for you. Best wishes!
I had a hunch something was not right. Sending tons of love and well wishes your way. You are missed and I look forward to your return.
xoxo
You will be in my prayers! Get well soon!

My prayers are with you and your family. Being positive and trusting in your medical team and loved ones will bring you far. I have two brothers who received the gift of life from organ donors. in 2009 my brother received a liver transplant after years of struggling with liver disease, and 2010 my other brother received a kidney. You have made you donor proud and their family proud, you’ve had 18 years with a transplanted organ which means you have taken care of your body, mind and soul! God bless you and keep the faith!!!
Wishing you all the best and hope that your mom is a good match for you! I SO enjoy reading your blog and have been looking every day to see if you were back yet. Thank you for caring about all of us readers enough to let us into your life! Take care and hope you get well VERY soon!

I just knew something was wrong when you did not blog. There are so many of us sending healing thoughts your way. With true peace.
I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. My family has been a donor family and a recipient family. Please know that you haven’t let your donor down at all.

Oh no! I hope you get better soon! Take all the time you need. I pray that your mom is a match. The thought of you being couped up in a hospital for twelve days is breaking my heart. I know you will find a kidney soon! No doubt about it. And you’ll be baking up a storm again in no time!
You are NOT letting your deceased donor down! That kidney (and its loving owner) gave you 18 years of a quality of life you might not have had otherwise. You took care of it and didn’t take for granted the gift you were given.
{{{HUGS}}} and good thoughts coming your way.

Thank you for being transparent, I know it was hard to do. You are a treasure and I will be praying for you. You have inspired me in so many ways. My friend and I met you in Oregon and your spirit left a huge impression on us. We tease and call you ‘Ang’ like you are our friend. We say ‘hmm what would ‘Ang’ do?’. It’s how we make important baking decisions. Anyway, thank you for sharing your ‘cute’ with us and pieces of you.
Thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life with us – just as you said we brighten your day, each day I use my fabulous cake pops christmas present, my day is brightened as well. Big prayers sent for a safe and speedy recovery. We’re so happy you’re at least feeling good enough to post again!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. You are so brave and strong, all my love! x
anna
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. You are so strong. stay positive!!
Wishing you and your family all the best. Hope you are on your way to a speedy recovery.
Thoughts, prayers, well wishes, and sugary sweet hugs go out to you, my dear….we are all holding you up…on a stick…of a cake pop… :0)
Praying for you during this hard time, may you have a speedy recovery.
Bless your heart sweety. I will pray for your health and healing. I love this website and enjoy it so much. Please take care and get your rest.
Take Care of Yourself! Hugs and prayers :)
I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I will send wishes and prayers for a donor and a speedy recovery soon.
I’m not a big fan of cake pops but your super cute and creative ones would easily woo me over. Can’t wait to see your new creations! Hope all works out well for you and soon!
You’re amazing. You have brought joy to so many lives. Everything will go great and you’ll be back with us in know time. How about kidney shaped cake pops? =) Best wishes in the weeks to come and I pray they’ll find a donor for you soon!!
just wanted to add my get well wishes. I hope your mom is a match and you to have a speedy recovery.
Best of luck to you!
I am sending as much energy your way! I have been missing you but now that I know I will send more energy and prayers than I had been previously. Heal, and I see you with so much more renewed energy soon! Prayers to your Mom too for being so willing to find out if she can be your donor!
Sending you all the thoughts/prayers/and healthy wishes possible through this computer! I can’t believe the strength that you have h ad to keep up all that you have done, given what you’ve been going through. Hoping that things turn out for the best!
Wow! Hope you are back to your baking self in no time! Sending all the good thoughts I can your way for a speedy repair and recovery.
It sounds like you have a great support system. I’m wishing you speedy recovery. BIG ole’ hugs to you!
If all your readers had a blood test done, I am sure you would have several matches. That’s a small price to pay to ensure a longer life for you and that we would get more adorable cake art from you! I hope your mom is a match! Will be praying for you!
You know, in a way its almost like God gave you the gift of bakerella so that you could share it with all of us, so that when the time came for your deep need for support to be fulfilled, it could be realized by those of us whose lives have been enriched by a ball of cake rolled in candy coating. Thanks for being vulnerable, and allowing us to give back to you.
I was wondering why you’ve been gone! I’m so sorry to hear about your kidney. Hopefully your mom is a potential donor- dialysis isn’t fun :( I hope everything turns out wonderfully and I really hope you keep us updated!!! *hugs* Feel better!!!
I’m thinking and praying for you!
You encourage me to get off my butt and do something . . . recently I found a bump in my left breast and do the routinary tests . . . and still waiting for them. I was feeling bumped, then read your blog and see your videos and feel so good so I start making the cake pops . . . they are a juge sensation. I’m from Puerto Rico and people never saw them before. So, I get of my butt and put me to work. My prayers are with you . . . Hope you found what you need, an fast. Dios te bendiga ( God Bless )
I wish you the speediest recovery! You are a beautiful, talented, wonderful person (I’ve never met you but I can tell =) ).. and beautiful talented wonderful people get the best gifts from up above. I know you’ll pull through! and fast!
I am sorry that you are not doing well. I hope that you are up and about very soon!
Angie,
Big big BIG hugs to you!! Sending you (((virtual ones))), lots of love and prayers. xoxo
I’ve been thinking of you and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prays.
Cupcakes, cake pops and cute can wait. Your health and well being is so much more important. My thoughts are with you, my prayers are with you, and I am giving you a huge healing hug via the internet.
Today is the first time I’ve visited your site and read your message. I’m sorry for the health issue your are going through. I appreciate your positive outlook. It is so inspiring. I wish you all the best and will keep you in my prayers. I look forward to your future posts!
Get well soon :)
You are in my thoughts and prayers! Stay strong, and keep the faith. God has a reason for everything, even though we don’t always understand. I will pray for your mom to be a match. We are all behind you and wishing you a fast recovery :-)
I love you site, and check it everyday! I just got a copy of your book too. Thanks for all your cheer and great ideas.
I’m sorry to hear you have been having a difficult time, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated as we will all be thinking of you!
I am so sorry to hear, being a transplant receiver also, I understand. My prayers will be with you that you are comfortable and that you receive one in a timely fashion.
wishing you the best! fingers crossed your mama is a match!!
Will be thinking of you and hoping you are able to get a healthy kidney very soon. I’m so sorry you are going through this.
I also have never commented but I am a constant reader of your wonderful blog. Many prayers are coming your way!
I’m so sorry you have been so ill. Big, big hugs to a speedy and safe recovery!
You are such a strong person to go through this and be so positive. Hugs to you! :)
I am so sorry! Thank you for letting your fans know about what is going on. As much as we all LOVE your creations, you are WAY more important than any cute treats you might teach us to make. You are in my prayers!
We love you, Bakerella! Thoughts and prayers headed your way from NJ!
Big hugs!
also, kidney cake pops might be a little de-appetizing, but you could try asian inspired red bean ice cream! (kidney beans -> red beans). Let us on the internet know if there’s anything we can do to help!
This is so heartbreaking…but the power of prayer is wonderful! My best friend is only 30 years old and has had a multiple-visceral transplant (multiple organs) twice in the past two years! It has been a rough road but her faith has been astounding! Praying that your mom is a match for you! You will be in my prayers!
Many prayer and well wishes!!! Praying for a healthy recovery!
Prayers are with you! Take care, and please keep us posted on any news about the transplant.
Oh my goodness, here I was being selfish and wondering when I would get to read more of you lovely posts. A friend went through kidney failure two years ago, luckily he is now doing fine but it was a stressful time for all of us and he will be on drugs for the rest of his life. I hope you get well soon and all of our thoughts are with you! Hopefully next time you come to Toronto I will be able to see you, instead of writing the SAT like I was last time!
My prayers are with you!
Get well soon bakerella!! i miss you already.. keep on coming back for new posts, but got nothing. :( and now i know.. take care Bakerella.. be brave! I’ll pray for your speedy recovery! Hugs and Kisses..:)
Get well soon Bakerella, we’ll all be here when you get back :)

I have enjoyed your blog for so long and never commented until now. Please know that I send you love and prayers for a speedy recovery!
Thanks for the update but more importantly you are in my thoughts. Actually before I knew what has been up you have been in my thoughts b/c I can’t quit thinking about sweets and always wait to see what cute thing you have come up with next but that is not impt. right now! So take care of yourself!!! Continue to be strong and I am keeping you in my thoughts for a speedy recovery!
I am so sorry to hear your news! Wishing you the best, and praying for a new kidney that comes sooner rather than later!

I am a long time fan but have not left a post until now. I will keep you in my prayers! Rest and make yourself the priority, everything else will still be here when you fully recover.
Sending best wishes and prayers!! You bring such joy and delight to us with your creations now we will pray for you and your family!!
Hopefully you feel better and things turn around! I can’t believe your great spirit, tis amazing.
After you get your new kidney, maybe you could celebrate by making a kidney cake pop. I am hoping you get a new one soon so you are back making cake pops. Miss you and wish you all the best!
get well soon! our prayers are with you.
616 comments … and counting … probably feels like a pretty good virtual hug right now. Wow, Bakerella. I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. It sounds like a tough place to be, coming at you from all sides. How remarkable that you’ve had the year you’ve had with one organ working at half capacity. We’ll all be sending happy kidney energy your way with many wishes that things go well and soon at that!
Oh Bakerella, you have all my best wishes. I’ve been checking your blog rather impatiently these past few days, I had no idea what was going on. You are such a trooper, I know you’ll be back and healthy, blogging, dreaming up impossibly cute baked things in no time.
Thanks for sharing this with us so we can all send lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way. Wishing you a successful and speedy resolution this temporary setback. :)
I’ve missed you. Good luck and I’ll be thinking of you!
I hope that it is ok that I said a prayer for you. Focus on you and everthing here will be ok
I will keep you in my prayers! Keep up the positiive attitude.
Hopefully it will all be good very very very soon, will pray for your recovery. Please take a moment to take in all the love from your faithful readers and breathe it in. Big hug,
Fernanda
thoughts and prayer are being send! thanks for making my Sunday nights so much better with your wonderful posts.
Take care and rest up!
{HUGS} I will be praying for you.
What blood type are you??? Just incase any one would like to be tested in your name.
I was wondering about you and was getting a little worried! Will pray for a speedy recovery and that all works out!
Aw, Bakerella!! Hugs and prayers that you receive a juicy, healthy kidney soon! We love and miss you!!
I have been a long time visitor, but have never commented. I just wanted to tell you I’m praying for your health and emotional well being. Stay positive and best wishes!
My Dad was on dialysis for eight years before he died of heart failure at 64. It’s hard; I saw how much it stressed his body. Unfortunately he did not qualify for a transplant because he was also a cancer survivor, and couldn’t risk the immunosuppressive drugs. We all understand your first priority has to be your health. Good luck with finding a new kidney! In the meantime, we’ll experiment with some cake pops of our own.
U know we love u and send u well wishes!
Just letting you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Sending virtual get well cake pops your way!
I’ll be thinking of you and praying that you find peace and strength for whatever lies ahead.
Prayers for you, your mom, the docs, your family, all that good stuff. Hope it gets figured out soon and that you get some energy back.
I have missed you these last twelve days, but please put your amazing creative energy towards getting better right now! Many prayers coming your way!
Bakerella, you are in my thoughts and prayers, I hope you feel better soon and are able to get back to your life and the things that bring you the happiness you deserve.
All the best to you, and kudos on being brave enough to share your feelings with your loyal followers.

I have been missing your posts and have been checking daily to see when you would be back! So glad to see you back online, but so sad for the news you are sharing with us. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers through this time as I know everything will turn out ok and hopefully your mom will be a donor match. Keep staying positive!
Take care of yourself and get better! We’re all here rooting for you and will still be around waiting anxiously for your newest recipes when you get better!!
We’re thinking of you and hoping for the quickest and best recovery possible! Kidney cakepops to celebrate your health when you’re all better! :)
My thoughts and prayers are will you! It can be so hard to stay positive in times like this, but you seem to be doing a fantastic job of that. Best wishes that your donor kidney gets itself together soon, and that a donor can be found ASAP. We’re all pulling for you!!
I’m so so very sorry to hear your news. I’ll keep you in my prayers for a very positive and quick journey. God bless.
You are an inspiration to so many. Hang in there. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Big Hugs to you (((((((((((((((:))))))))))))
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending strength and peace your way!
I don’t usually comment on the ever so popular blogs (such as yours : ) ) but I feel the need after reading this post. I pray that the Father in Heaven, who knows yesterday, today and tomorrow is holding you and every one involved in your care and health in His hands. He has a purpose for ALL things and though some of us really enjoy your posts, we will make it without them until you are back to health. Seek God and His plan for you and everything else will fall into place. Lifting you in prayer right now!

Oh dear Bakerella…sending you prayers…certainly hope your Mom will be a matching donor and if not, I do pray someone else will quickly be found. Thank you so much for sharing with us…you’ve been missed! Will pray!
