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 love your website – you were a huge inspiration for me to begin baking. i hope you get better, you’ll be in my prayers!

Whising you the best…good luck!
hi, i hope things work out well for you as this site is really cute. i know what its like to have a non working part of the body as ive have a lost voice for a year now and no one can explain why. things will work out for you and i wish you all the best
Praying for you from across the globe! That’s how far you’ve touched us with your amazing vibes. Hugs and kisses!
Lots of love and prayers for you and your donor, whoever that may be!
You were in my thoughts this weekend. I was at a cake show, and one of the entries was a pirate ship cake with cake pop pirates and sharks! Your influence has made its way into competiton!
Honey, how kind and also silly of you to think of all your followers, we just want you to get better and back on your feet. We don’t mind about the cake pops only your wellbeing. You are such a sunny, positive, gorgeous person inside and out that you will get through this. Keep your mind busy with happy, positive thoughts and we will all do the same. You are an inspiration to us all. Love and Cuddles. xxxxxxxxxxxx
Saying a prayer for you. Everything will work out great by the grace of God.
I’m heartbroken to hear of your recent difficulties and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Much, much love to you and I hope your wait is not long. Dialysis is a life saver but it is difficult. You have been a lifeline when I’ve had some very bad times and I hope that we can do the same for you. xoxoxoxoxoxox
I hope that you get well soon, stay strong and know that many prayers are going your way!:)
get well!
i love you so much bakerella! i’ll be thinking about you and i know you’re going to get through this.
Hi bakerella, you have inspired me over the years with your awesome blog site. You are always positive and happy about anything and I feel really bad about the news that you shared. I want to let you know that I will continue to pray for you so that you will stay positive, strong and healthy. Life is just as colorful and bright like our baked goodies so we will continue to do what we love best. Stay strong and thank you for inspiring a lot of people. Get well! :D
I think that God is wondering what is going on with all the prayers for Bakerella going on right now! Lots of love, best wishes and even more prayers coming your way from Vienna, Austria. xoxo
you will definitely pull through! i’ll be praying for everything to work out for you!
Bakerella, did you hear that Starbucks is going to sell cake pops now??
Wishing you a speedy recovery and a long, healthy, cuteness filled life! :) Thank you so much for all of your inspiration! Sending smiles and prayers ur way! :)
I’m reading your blog for a long time now, but it’s always a pleasure to try your new recipe.
I’m living quite far away from America (like … Belgium, you know, a little country in Europe) but I’m sending you all my hugs & love and I wish you a really quick recovery !
Warm hugs and cupcake wishes to you, Bakerella. So sorry to hear that you’ve been in a hospital all this time! <3
I have never commented before but I have been reading your blog for about a year now and absolutely love it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Blessings from Hawaii! Get well soon.
So sorry to hear about your health problems, I hope you are out of hospital as soon as possible and best wishes for the future.
How brave of you to share this very personal side of you. You have given so much, so please allow us to do the same back to you by lifting you up and giving you the encouragement that you need during this time…Nothing is mightier than Love and prayers…Lean on those…
Hugs and thoughts with you at this difficult time. Maybe you should start thinking about making a cute new kidney for yourself out of cake! (if only…)
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. As I petition God on your behalf at the foot of the Lord’s Throne Room, may the healing balm of Gilead pour down from Heaven upon you from the crown of your head to the very tips of your toes. May every nerve, cell, tissue, muscle, organ-kidney, blood, every fiber of your being absorb that anointed healing balm like a sponge absorbs water. May your mind and body literally bathe in it’s healing properties. May you sense the Presence of the Lord, holding you, loving you, whispering words of love and encouragement into your ears, heart, mind, soul and spirit. May you sense the Presence of the Heavenly Angels surrounding you, ministering to you, lifting you up and singing Heavenly songs. I am believing that you will be made every whit, whole, complete, new and one in Jesus. And that a donor, prayerfully your beloved mom, would be found quickly and that you would make a full and complete recovery from the surgery.
I thoroughly enjoy your gift and love of baking and for sharing it with us. You are a blessing.
Love and prayers,
Kathy

Get well soon Bakerella. Will pray for your soonest recovery. Hope you find a suitable donor soon enough. Bless you and your mum! x

Take the time to take care of yourself. I pray you will heal quickly and that the right solution will be available quickly whether it’s through your mom or a new donor. I love your blog. It’s such a bright and cheerful spot to visit. It’s always sure to put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your talent and inspiring the rest of us.
Prayers are with you.
I just wanted to include my best wishes for a positive outcome- stay strong and take care of yourself–
I am so sorry. I pray your Mom is a match, for a successful operation, and a quick recovery. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you. xoxo
Well bless your heart! I so hope everything works out soon for you to have a new kidney. You did not let your donor down – 18 years is a very good span for a donated cadaver organ. You’ll be in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about your blog or your job – just YOU!
We LOVE you, Bakerella!! You are such an inspiration to all of us, and such a sweet soul that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person (Oregon Cupcake Convention). I’ll be thinking such happy thoughts for your recovery. How can we be tested to see if we’re a match?!
The Lord is with you through this.
You’re in my prayers bakerella!
My thoughts and prayers will also be with you, wishing you a speedy solution to your suffering. God bless x x x
So sorry to hear your news, but fingers and toes crossed your mum is a donor! I hope you start to feel better soon, the internet just wouldn’t be the same without Bakerella! Lots of love all the way from New Zealand!
i hve never posted here before but have loved your work for long time. Heart felt wishes coming your way x x x
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are an inspiration even without cake pops and baking. You are a role model for everyone in more ways than one. We are here for you…and pray for your speedy recovery!
Love your blog and hope you will get well soon! Stay positive! :)
xoxo
It appears that many people are praying for you and you can add one more person to the list! Prayers to you, your mom and another donor, should your mom not be a match. Take the time for your body to adjust and heal. May your recovery be quick. Your fans will always be here. Much love!
Sending prayers and healing energies your way. Hope you get better asap!
G-d be with you. Praying for you to pull thu

I am absolutely flabbergasted that you’ve been carrying on the way that you have – given that you have been having health issues – always happy, always smiling – this is what makes you, your website and everything you do, so special. I wish you all the best – and keep letting your light shine through.
you’re my inspiration in terms of baking & it saddens me that you & your family are going through this…I do want to extend my heartfelt love & support. As a recipient of a kidney myself, it is a tough & unimaginable stress to be in..I wish you luck & fast recovery. You are truly remarkable & brave to share this with your patrons…we are all rooting for your recovery!
I hope you feel better soon!!
Hey bakerella, I’m actually a new reader here & I never comment before.. Found out this blog from a friend a month ago. And I just want to say thankyou for being a wonderful inspiration.

Thank you for sharing. I also am on dialysis. I was diagnosed last March with End-stage renal failure. I am in the process of working on getting a new kidney. I pray for you to find a match quickly and to feel better so you can get back to what you love.

I don’t know if I’ve ever commented before, but I had to tell that I DID MISS YOU, and your upbeat, color, creative posts. I hope you can get back to doing what you love very soon. You are very much appreciated!
Tracy
I am so sorry to hear you haven’t been well, and I’m praying for a great outcome for you no matter what route you have to take back to good health. Just know this – if a great attitude, an open heart and mind, a loving support group of family and friends will make the difference for you, you have that in spades, girl. Best of luck and God bless you.
Thoughts, prayers and well wishes for you and your family.

Praying in San Diego for your match on a kidney and your recovery……you have an amazing spirit and gift, God will watch over you….
As a fellow kidney transplant recipient I’m in tears posting this comment. I’m so sorry for the loss of your transplanted kidney. I pray that you heal quickly and feel as strong and healthy as possible while on dialysis. Also praying for a quick match.
How quickly we forget “those days” before our life saving gifts :(. Much love to you.
Poor you …Don’t worry about blogging and pop cakes …Take good care of yourself …Hope you will not have to wait to long for a new kidney …Sending you loads of virtual hugs and positive vibes ! Get well soon !!!!
Oh, poor sweetie. My hopes and prayers go with you. I know everything will work out for someone so nice and who makes people smile in a million different ways. Especially through cute baking. Lots of hugs.
Bakerella,
You are an amazing professional quite obviously with stamina and endurance beyond the norm! Thanks for what you do in your work! I had emailed you from Minnesota about a week ago to let you know that I own a cupcake business here but that I used to be a Renal Dietitian and my husband works in Nephrology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and if you ever need a second medical opinion, please contact me at monpetitcupcake@yahoo.com and we would be happy to help you navigate the Mayo Medical Health System, they do many amazing non-compatible or ABO kidney transplants here, the research here is amazing, hang in there, I can tell you have the spunk! Best, Jennifer
I hope you get better soon!! You will be missed!
i hope you feel better!!!! i really missed reading your new posts.
hugs and kisses!
feel better!
I’ve so enjoyed your blog for a long while now, but never commented…until now. Know that you are in my prayers and thanks for all of the joy that you bring to total strangers like myself.
Hope your mom is a match!!! Our thoughts are with you and your family! Your website and creations are such a bright spot in so many people’s lives!!!!
My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your amazing mother.
I just prayed for you and your mom and will continue to do so. You haven’t let you deceased donor down. I can tell through reading your blog and seeing all the comments on this post that you have touched so many lives in the years that you have had that kidney. I’m sure you’ve impacted the lives of so many others as well and will continue to brighten people’s days. I hope receive a new kidney soon.
All the very best. I hope it sorts itself out soon for you and you make a speedy recovery.
p.s. that was supposed to say “we heart you”, not “we ? you”! we would never question you! xoxo.
you are a hard working woman, I know you’ll get trough this easily, just have faith and everything will be alright.
best wishes.
i’m sending all the best thoughts your way … take care of yourself amazingly wonderful bakerella. we ? you!
I’m wishing you the best. I hope that you get well soon. You will get through this and we’ll have cute again. But just try to heal first, don’t worry about this..take care of yourself. sending you positive healing thoughts!
I’m a Registered Nurse who follows and loves you blog- wish I had half your baking talent. Hope your Mom is a match and all goes well- the miracles of modern medicine are endless- stay strong!!!
Czimrn@aol.com
Prayers for your recovery. Thanks for the joy you have brought so many. :)
I’ve read your site for a long time now, and it’s always one of my favorites to see in my reader. My thoughts are with you and I wish you all the best for a quick resolution & speedy recovery.
I never comment on these things but I felt due to the fact I have been checking everyday for a new post I would say something. You are quite the inspiration and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Baking is a joy of mine and finding your book and getting creative with cake-pops has been my excitment and relief for the past couple months. You are a very talented and special person and without even knowing you I can see those quailities!
Good luck and with God all things are possible! :-)
I will definitely keep you in prayer!
Much love and prayers are coming your way. You have shared si much. I hope your mom’s kidney works out for you!!!!!
Sending you positive thoughts and support. Your site always brightens my day and your creations inspire me. I wish you all the best xx
Bakerella,
Please know that there is so much love out here for you as we send you kisses and get betters. Take your time, and be gentle with yourself.
<3remlove
I imagine your donor would be so honored to have given you 18 years of their kidney…wishing you well in the wait for the next one and a speedy recovery.
I definitely noticed the absence, and figured you were busy growing your brand! I’m so sorry to hear you are sick. I’ll be praying for a quick transplant and a fast recovery!
I have an extra kidney too- just tell me where to get tested! I know you may think we are kidding, but I can speak for me that I’m not. If I would give a kidney to a family member- I would give it to a stranger, and you are far from a stranger. =)
praying!
Get well soon! Prayers to you and your family!
I usually don’t comment on your site only because i am more of a quiet person. Especially on the internet, but reading this made me feel obligated to comment. I have been following your blogg for nearly a year to a year and a half, and you have inspired so much of my baking. I wish you will get well soon, and the best of luck.
Big hugs and lots of prayers for a speedy recovery! Been wondering where you’ve been! God Bless
I’ve missed you so much!
I will be praying for you and I really hope that you get everything figured out ASAP.
You’re an amazing baker and truly such an inspiration to me.
Much love to you Bakerella!
You are an inspiration to so many! God bless and best wishes for a donor match and a speedy recovery! BTW…cake pops at Starbucks!!! Hope you are getting some credit for that one!!
Oh my gosh I feel horrible for getting upset when there were no new posts! I hope that you get well soon, I’ll tell God to keep a special eye on you in my prayers tonight.
get well soon!!! i check your blog daily, and now i will be thinking of you beyond cake pops when i do. wishing you a speedy recovery!
You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
take care and be well…
Saying prayers for you… and sending healthy kidney vibes!!! I hope Mom is a match!
and a BIG HUGE hug to you Bakerella, we love you!
I’ve only started reading you in the last few months, but in that short time your creations brought so much whimsy into my life. I appreciate your writing and the things you bring into the world. I hope everything works out and pray for your speedy recovery!
Hope you feel better!
P.S My friend Collette Lee went to your San Francisco book signing and she is so happy, and so is her brother joshua.
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles and will keep you and your family in my prayers. I have loved getting to know you through your blog and know that you have so many more fun projects still to create. Keep your chin up.
Sorry to hear you’ve not been well! You’ll be in my prayers and I hope your treatments/surgery go very well.
Sending love and prayers your way! You are an inspiration in so many ways. Stay strong!
I’ve been waiting and a bit worried since I remember the last time you were gone for a while it was health related. You’re in my thoughts and prayers…you are such an amazing person!
Lots of love,
heidi
ps: i’ve bought your book for friends for gifts and I finally got my own copy this weekend. I LOVE it!
I don’t know if I’ve ever actually commented, but I love your blog and think you are amazing! Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with the kidney issues – I remember your post a while back about the fact that you have a donor kidney and I was thinking that might be why you’d been “missing” for a while. Prayers are coming your way, and hope everything works out for the best for all involved!
I pray for a quick & easy donor match for you, Angie. You get better, and don’t worry about all of us!
Sending you love today, that you may find the courage to face tomorrow. Know that we are thinking of you and you will get a new kidney. Many prayers to you kiddo!! xo
Keeping you in prayer. God is great! Keep looking up.
Blessings,

I will keep you in my thoughts. I wish you are quick and speedy response to the dialysis and that your mom’s kidney is a match. As for the new future kidney? Well, there isn’t a better body home out there so it will be one lucky little organ….

Wow, God bless!!! Take care honey! All will work out. You’re so amazing. I love you a bunch and think you’re site and (YOU) are such an inspiration. =]

So sorry to hear about this, but i’ll be praying for a donor match and a fast recovery for you. I love looking at your site…every time something new pops up (no pun intended), I get so excited! I will certainly work my hardest to make cake pops in your honor over spring break!!
Prayers coming your way!!. I am a nurse on a pediatric bone marrow transplant unit and I see miracles happen every day! Hang in there, keep smiling, and have faith!
I wondered where you have been and hate to hear this is the reason you’ve been gone so long. I love your seeing all your posts and how positive you always are. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I’m wishing you a quick recovery!
There is a lot of positive energy and love flowing your way. Believe in your own strength and use all this good energy to bring you peace and health.
Be brave! You can do it!
So sorry to hear about everything that’s been going on… I’m glad you’re trying to stay positive! We’re all hoping for a fast recovery for you!
Here’s praying your mom is a match! Know that you are in the thoughts & prayers of MANY people you have inspired with your creations & smiles over the past few years. Rest up and best wishes!!
Oh my goodness, Bakerella. I hope that you are able to find a donor organ soon, and that you recover and are back to your cake popping ways quickly!!!
you haven’t let anyone down,
This is crazy! When I didn’t see a post from you I started praying! I’m turning on my oven right now, 11 PM CST, and baking mini-cheesecakes in your honor. Prayers, prayers, prayers coming your way.
Oh Bakerella! I was starting to worry that something was wrong. :(
Sending you lots of healthy vibes and big hugs from Canada. Take care of yourself. You have a lot of big fans praying for you.

Dear Bakerella,
I hope all these comments will brighten up your stay at the hospital. I admire your decision to share your pain with us, your readers – it’s not easy, but I hope that 800+ shoulders will make your burden seem a bit lighter. As I say to my girls: chin up, breast our and pride on – take it as a real woman. What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger.
Wishing you all the best and a lot of inner strength!
My prayers are with you! I hope that you are able to get a new kidney fast and recover quickly! Love your site and your work!
prayers and love feel better soon!
Angie, please know that you are in my prayers (you Mom too). I pray that you will find a donor soon and that you are soon back to creating your adorable pops. You have given so much pleasure to so many!!! Please! take care of yourself. We will still be here when you are ready!!!
Your adoring fans!!!
Karen, Amber and Kaylin Grace
