I can’t believe I’m writing another post without a single picture in it, but I wanted to take a moment to tell you how completely overwhelmed I’ve been reading all your prayers and beautiful words of encouragement. It’s taken me a few days but I have read them all … all 4,400+ of them. Wow!!! I’ve smiled and cried and felt so lucky to have this blog that connects us all. Thank you.
While reading, I was moved by so many of you that share similar stories. And even more overwhelmed by offers to be tested to see if you could be a kidney donor for me. That is so amazing. I don’t even know how to process it yet. Asking that of anyone is something that does not come naturally to me. It’s very difficult to even accept that gift from my mom if she turns out to be able to donate. And hopefully she will. But your offers are so special and kind and generous of heart that I had to make sure you all knew that I did read them and whether or not I could ask that of anyone, I wanted you all to know how honored I am.
There were an overwhelming number of comments from people that know someone with kidney failure or on dialysis or with a transplant or even their second or third transplant. Too, too many. My love goes out to all of you and your family and friends as well. It’s a tough thing.
March is National Kidney Month and I believe April is National Donate Life Month. With everything going on with me lately, I find it hard not to mention that. Please take a minute to think about organ donation. So many people are on waiting lists and will be for a long time.
Okay, the good news is I came home from the hospital Tuesday night after 18 days. Finally. Yay! I’ll be on a different journey for a while, but one that I’ve been on before. Dialysis. I won’t go into all the details, but basically I will get four-hour treatments, three days a week. Kind of a bummer. But hopefully it won’t be for too long.
I also wanted to let you know that I still plan on posting as I go through everything. I want to keep things as close to normal as possible. It may not be on a schedule, but it will be when I can. And of course … cute.
P.S. – I want to say hi to all the first time commenters. Hi there! Big hugs. I’m so happy to hear from all of you.
And now I’m off to read 18 days of emails that I wasn’t able to check while I was in the hospital. Help.
P.S.S. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Content content, I’ll happily use it for my catering guests (:
u r truly an amazing woman, even with all ur going thru your still giving. God bless u. i’ll be praying for u
I have been on a little blog break, and am just catching up! I am so sorry to hear the news, but I am definitely praying for you!
Thinking of you with love and prayers, you brave, beautiful, talented woman! I am very familiar with kidneys and all that can go wrong. My best friend donated her kidney to one of her best friends in 2010. I was diagnosed last year with chronic kidney disease (currently at 42% function). Your strength and grace radiate, and I am hoping your journey is as smooth and easy as these things can be. You’re amazing. OXO
What a trial by fire you’re experiencing! I was amazed by the time it took to process eligibility as a donor. I was tested frequently for various things from February to August the year I donated (09). It has to be agonizing for both you and your Mom. I would hope knowing the “tech support” from all your fans is uplifting.
In a side note, my daughter has discovered your cake pops and is having a ball creating some different ones. My next ‘gift’ to her will be your book.
Again, my prayers and thoughts are with you in this revisited journey you are on.
I love your cake pops. I have never tasted one and tonight I made some for the first time following your instructions. Are they supposed to taste like cookie dough, raw. Did I do something wrong, maybe too much frosting, I only used 3/4 of the can of frosting to one box of cake mix.
Very late to this post and you (hopefully) probably know about this, but if you haven’t already, look into applying for End Stage Renal Disease Medicare through Social Security. You may be eligible if you are on dialysis and awaiting a transplant.
Best wishes for a speedy and healthy recovery
So happy that you are back home. Looking forward to many more posts from you.
Take care.
Hello, O MY CUPCAKES!!!!!
I live in Flagstaff, Az., at 7,000 ft. When we get a new craze it has already been out for over two years.
I found you around a yr. ago, and have shared all of the wonderful, delightful adventures in awesome baked goods.
I was at Starbuck’s yesterday, and guess what is in their pastry case? Yes, your cake pops, and was it a wonder to see. They also have whoopie pies, which my friends and family devour every time I make them.
I am making whoopie pies for my daughter’s bake sale. Thanks, and all of our prayers, love, blessings, and healing we are constantly sending your way.
thanks, kerbe, redraven
Praying for you and your family always :) stay strong
Ms. North Carolina
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom.
I haven’t been on your site for awhile but thought I’d check and see what’s new for Easter, instead I read about what you’ve been going through. I am sorry you’ve got to go through this but I wish you and your Mom both the very best. Your positive attitude will serve you well! My 13 year old daughter gave me your book for Christmas and we will be making you Chickie pops for our Easter gathering. God’s blessings on you and your family!
Hope all is well for you.
Hi there! I’m just going through the post and saw this one and it brought me to tears. I’m new to the Pop World and have been inspired to get back on track with my creativity because of your book. I was in BJ’s Wholesale about a month ago and was just praying to God that morning to help me get my passion back of creating and baking, low and behold I stubled on your book because my husband wanted me to look at something for our son. When I turned and looked down at the book table, there it was, looking at me your book. I’m so inspired and in awe of your creativity and those of others here on your site that have shared. I’m so glad that my prayers have been answered and I wish you many blessings and strength as you get well.
God Bles you!!
Sabrina

ps I think of you every time I see a cake pop in Starbucks!! did you know Starbucks now feature cake pops??!! =)
Praying for you… Blessings sweet Bakerella!! =)
I just wanted to write and tell you to hang in there. I had my second kidney transplant almost three years ago. My mom donated the first time and my boyfriend donated the second kidney. It is really frightening to lose a kidney, but I know you will recover and get another transplant. Much love to you and please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time if you have questions about transplant related issues (I had high antibodies and had to have months of treatment before the 2nd transplant) or for any other reason. I hope all goes well!
Very glad to hear that you are home. Good luck with the next part of your journey – I know you can make it! Happy St Patrick’s Day to you too, if a little late!
Big hugs and millions of get well wishies ^-^
I took a break from blog reading for about a month for my sanity and I came back to find out that you are stuck in this holding pattern. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am so happy that you are home now.
Please keep us updated as you are able, we all care so much for you! *Hugs*
Hi!I’m a follower of your blog for some time now, and I love your creativity. we just had the holiday of purim (jewish holiday) and I was so inspired that I made clown pops to give out to friends, everyone was so impressed and sure added a smile to their faces. I wish you all the best and a super duper fast recovery!!!!

Jana

So happy to hear you read my comment! It’s so nice to know that bloggers can be so down to earth and have such a kind and caring heart like you do. I can’t remember if I’ve commented before the comment on your last post but I’ve been reading your blog for about a year and a half and anytime I need a “omg that is sooooo freaking cute” moment, I come to your site. I love your blog, your cute pictures, your creativity, your cute personality, that you’re so down to earth, and that I feel like I could walk up to you in the street one day if I were ever to see you and just run up for a hug and a chat and you’d welcome me with open arms.

first time commenter but that’s ok!! Big prayers from Brazil!!
Sooo glad to know that you’re feeling better!! Still praying for you,I’m sure everything will be alright. Take good care. xoxoxo
Glad to hear you are home, hope you are feeling better. How amazing is it to know so many people from all over are praying for you:)
And how funny to not know your own book was printed in Dutch. I love it! BTW- I did a post today on Easter Fun Food and featured your adorable Easter Cake Pops, old and new. I hope you like it:) Happy Friday!
I am so, so, so glad you are back home!!!! I plan on doing some baking this weekend, my thoughts will be with you during every part of it! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration and I pray you do well
So glad to hear you’re recovering. I am thinking healthy wishes for you! You might not be aware of it, but you’re a super role model. xoxo
I am so relieved to hear that you are able to go home now! I hope that you will be able to find a suitable donor soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
xoxo
So glad that you are home!! May God sustain you through the dialysis and finding a kidney. Sending more prayers your way.
Much love to you.
P.S. Having a faculty lunch at school tomorrow. Taking cake pops, YUM!!!!
Hi Angie,
Big (((hugs))) to you! Sending you lots and lots of positive vibes and prayers!!
xoxo,
Marian
May God rest you in the palms of his hands on your journey to recovery
I worked as a dialysis social worker for 5 long years, and I wish you all the best in your journey. I am sure that you will bring lots of love and smiles to you unit and that your social worker will LOVE having someone like you (upbeat, good social supports, etc) on board. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
My brother is currently going through the process and should have his transplant in April. Luckily my brothers are twins and my other brother has 2 fully function healthy kidneys and can give one. I was tested as a donor and was a match as well, which is good to know since in all likelyhood he will need another transplant in about 20 years. I know how hard this process is during the wait and see stage, so my prayers are with you and your family!
just checking back to say hi & know that we are all cheering for your speedy & quick recovery dear bakerella!
Angie,
I’m just hearing about your health woes…….I’m glad to hear you a re finally home and sincerely hope that your Mom is a match for you.I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts.
Take care, xo!
Debbie
You bring so much beauty into this world with your blog and obviously (judging from the comments) you have touched a lot of lives in a positive way! So the universe can only reward you back. I wish you all the best and I hope you find a donor soon. Hang in there and know that you are surrounded by love, even if it’s just through cyberspace!
Hooray for being home, finally!! (…it really does make a difference.) I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. In the words of my father, ‘this too shall pass…” And it will, with your new kidney, as soon as it finds its way to you. I can only imagine that your kidney’s previous owner would have been happy knowing that they contributed to such a wonderful and loving soul. Sending hugs to greet you on your journey.
Hope you’re feeling well today!
Still thinking of you and praying you get healing and a kidney soon. Praying you feel the love of Jesus and the peace only he can give in a situation like this. Blessings to you. Making cake pops for a bake sale! Lots of love coming your way.
Cindy in California :0)
Hello Bakerella,
I am so glad to see that you got to come home! I hope everything goes well! I think that I have some problems in my life regarding health issues, but reading or hearing stories like yours helps me realize that I’m lucky. You have been such an inspiration to me! My mom and I are constantly checking your blog for updates. I love reading about all the interesting things you come up with. You’ve inspired me to bake. I love to do it! My friends always love when I bake. Just today I brought in Snickerdoodle Duos and people inhaled them! I love seeing people’s faces light up!
Thanks for reading this! I hope you get better soon and I wish I could get the opportunity to meet you someday!
Thanks,
Allie
Wishing you the best…hugs!
Hello there .. just read this update from you. I am soo sorry to hear about your health. Please feel free to reach out incase you need any help at all. I have the joy of visiting your site and feeling really great after reading yor posts! Please do not hesitate to reach out. Will surely check back more frequently.
Here’s praying, wishing and hoping for a speedy recovery!
Chandana
Big Big hug and i hope your mother matches.
So much love and hugs for your family… I hope you get a donor soon, I’m on the donor registry so hopefully I’ll get a call…
My nanny is on dialysis just like you are…she just started with us at the beginning of the month, but now I feel bad…I know next to nothing about what’s going on with her, why she has kidney trouble, I know she had a stroke, but what I can do for her…I was about to say “even though” I don’t know her very well…but she is so good with my son. You’ve motivated me to somehow show her I care, without seeming nosy. I hope there’s something I can do for her.
Best wishes on your journey! I love your site and lurk often…you are so creative and have such delicious recipes! My husband and I have a very personal experience with kidney donation…you are in our thoughts and prayers!
I was in such a shock to read about you, but I’m happy for you that you left the hospital. Sending you lots of love and prayers from Israel!!!
Some happy thoughts to make you smile, even if you’re not feeling better yet:
I just got your book for my birthday and I am totally excited about trying cake balls/pops again now that I’ve read your wonderful instructions. The first time I tried, I glossed over it on the website and I did about 14 things wrong so they were the ugliest cake balls you have ever seen but really, really tasty!
I’ve currently got plots to take cupcake bites to a potluck at church sometime soon. I’m pretty excited.
Also, cupcake pops AT STARBUCKS! They only have three flavors – we tried rocky road and tiramisu because they were out of [pink!] birthday cake – but, still, so entertaining. The cake consistency is kind of different and they’re somehow even sweeter than when you make them at home but you get to take them home in a cute box and everything.
In the meantime, I hope you’re feeling better. We’re praying for you.
YAY! For your homecoming, Prayers from my Church Valley Praise in Harlingen, TX
I think a batch of CELEBRATORY cake pops are in order!
AWESOME NEWS….
I’ve been away from your blog for a few weeks and couldn’t believe what I read last night. Wanted to send you best wishes on your situation and a speedy recovery. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Praying for you!!! You bring so much joy to our lives through your blog… I hope we can do the same for you now!
I’m glad you’re home, and hope you’ll have a safe recovery. *hugs*
Still sending you tons of good vibes each day! And I hope you’re keeping your face toward the sun… if you’re toward the sun, you can’t see any shadows that may be out there.
I just want to tell you that you are such an inspiration to me. Your genius has unearthed my desire to make cake pops for everyone I know. I’ve got you to thank… so, thank you. :) Sending a gentle, but meaningful squeeze, even though I don’t know you in person. Hope you accept virtual hugs!
Take care and keep in mind that you’ve got an army of people praying for you out here.
~ Ansley
Here’s to a speedy recovery. I hope you find a kidney soon. Your blog is amazing, and I love your book! Rest and welcome home.
It is wonderful to hear that you are home. My family is praying for you and will continue to keep you in our prayers. Carla had the rite words ” thank you for being an inspiration”.
I am so glad that you are out of the hospital and home! Sending you lot’s good wishes and positive hopes your way!
It’s funny how internet connect us in a way that makes me feel like you’re a friend, and have been so for a long, long time. I’ve been an avid reader, and I must say, I’m one of those that didn’t use to comment, until today. You touched us all, and you’re in my prayers too. I write from South America, and I’m sending you a Brazil-sized hug. Get well soon ;)
Know I am sending a blanket of prayers for you. Love your blog. God Bless.
Praying for you and glad you are home. I am sure there is a perfect donor out there for you! I love your website but I truly admire you for posting through your next adventure in life. What an inspiration!
Glad you are home! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
I am SO glad to hear you are ok. You’re an inspiration to all of us and we are pulling for you! XO
Glad to hear that you are home. We are all cheering for you! :) I wish you a quick recovery. Thanks for being an inspiration! Take care, Bakerella! – Anju
Its great to know that you’ve come home! Even if its just for a little while, i hope you get better soon! I shared your cakepops book with a bunch of my friends, and explained your story and your blog, we r all hoping you have a fast recovery! by the way, you make them better than starbucks! :) we miss your posts! please feel well again soon!

disculpa que no te haya podido escribir en ingles, soy muy mala para eso, hace mucho tiempo deje de practicarlo
saludos desde chiapas, mexico
I always follow your blog but rarely comment, but I had to this time so I could wish you a swift recovery. I hope you can find a match and get a transplant quickly! So many people are worrying about and praying for you. The internet is a funny thing… many of us have not had the opportunity to meet with you face-to-face, but we all feel like we know you and worry as if you’re one of our closest friends. Your clever, cute ideas and fun baking tips have made you a permanent part of all our homes and families. Thanks for posting this update so we know how you’re doing!
So happy to see you are home! I’ve been spreading the word that you are in need of prayer and a kidney. Don’t worry too much, God has it under control ;)
Welcome home! We’ll keep on praying for you as you face a transplant and dialysis. Yuck.
Wish I could bring you a home cooked meal or something to help!! I’m way up in Pittsburgh though. Kinda far. It’d get cold. ;)
So glad you are home and certainly hope you (and your donor) have a quick recovery. Your followers certainly miss your lively and delicious posts! Take care!
P.S. – I was at a Starbucks in Southern Pines, NC this weekend and they have Cake Pops on the menu!
Good luck and prayers on this journey. I’ve really enjoyed your blog, and you have inspired me to make baking fun and cute!
I can’t believe I am just now coming across your story! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers and I am so glad you were able to finally go home! Stay strong!!
Just sat down at my computer and got caught up on what’s going on in your life. I am a mama to 7 and my daughters and I absolutely love your blog. It’s like we really know you, so that will make it super easy to pray for you daily.
Our Lord can do exceedingly abundantly more than we can think or ask. We will be following and anticipating a wonderful report. In Jesus name!
Love and hugs to you!
So glad you’re home! That will certainly help make you feel better, eh? :) Thanks for the update! Please keep us posted. Prayers and good thoughts continue to flow your way from Sunny SoCal! :)
Hi Bakerella! I’m so glad to hear you are home and hopefully on the road to a swift recovery! I admit, I’m a first time commenter AND first time ever commenting on a blog i follow =) I found about what you’re going through via the Starbucks website through outraged fans of yours. As alot of you know, Starbucks is now selling cake pops, and so are a thousand of us out there…as i made my first ever cake pops batch, my friend texts me saying she saw cake pops in Starbucks. I was bummed…THEN I wanted to find out why the heck are they selling cake pops!?! I went to their website and saw the “story” and how it’s a trend on blogs like YOU…they even misspelled your blog! LOL
I don’t know what to say, i dislike negative words (even though i’m secretly screaming in my head)…but kudos to them, they are making YOU more famous =)
I super wish you well and stay strong! You are blessed with all these people cheering you on…including me!
Hang in there!!!
My prayers are with you always and thank you THANK YOU for being, and will forever be, one of my many inspirations…I’m starting to emerg from the gray colored cubicles of the corporate world towards the sweet world of YUMMINESS!
God bless always!!!
My prayers are with you. Hope you get back to 100% very soon.
So sorry to hear what has happened. {{hugs}} I just love your talent and your enthusiasm about everything. May God bless you through this trial in your life.
Hugs and love and prayers coming your way!! Hang in there, Angie! You are an inspiration to us all!!!!
Best wishes and prayers for you…. Thank you for thinking of all of us during this diifcult time….we will for sure be thinking of you! Your blogs are always a bright spot in my day and the world is a happier, sunnier, yummier place because you are in it! Praying for a speedy smooth recovery for you!
So good to hear from you! You’ve been in my prayers and I will continue to keep you in them! So glad that you’re out of the hospital and we’re all with you on this journey!! BTW I bought your book when I was in the States over the Christmas and I love it =D
God bless you as you go through dialysis. I pray that your sessions go smoothly until your new kidney arrives!
Thinking about you today. Praying you will get well soon!
So glad to hear you are home! There is never any place better than that. I hope you get some real rest now that you are home.
Haven’t forgotten about you, Angie! I hope you are feeling a little better most days (every day would be asking for a bit much!). Then a few great days, and then maybe a day of needing to rest up…. you just do what you can….take it easy and feel better soon. Many, many people are thinking of you–far more than actually post comments.
Finchy
Thank God you are home, Angie! Rest well. Hugs!!! :)
Glad to know your back at home now – I just found out about you and I’m sorry to hear this is happening to you…such a talented person like yourself…I have to thank you for giving me the inspiration to bake myself and believe in myself that i can too learn to recreate your cake pops. Your in my prayers and I’m hoping your mom is 100% compatible with you…xoxoxo
Keep your spirits up bakeralla! Am so glad to hear you are home. Sending you all the very best from Hong Kong :)
Glad to hear that you’re back home. I really hope that you have a speedy recovery. Sending you positive vibes from Canada. Thanks so much for being an inspiration. =)
my husband received a kidney from his wonderful mom in 1980. He lived 12 years in amazing health after her donation. Huge leaps have been made in the years since then and I hope you benefit from all the advances. My prayers are with you. No doubt your experience will lead others to consider being a donor. Thank you for sharing. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
So glad to hear you are home!!!!! Now time to get back to where you heart is…. sharing with all of US…. Our prayers are working and I pray that you will continue to get better and stronger.
:)
Angie you have been constantly in my thoughts and I will continue to send up prayers. We love you Bakerella! <3
I have missed you so much! I’ve been dieting and always check your site for pictures of the yummy snacks you are making….I have made it my proxy I guess. :) I am so glad to hear you are home. I wish you and your family the very best! You are an inspiration to us all!!!
Continuing to send healing thoughts your way, Bakerella. You are being held in The Light every day! Blessings…
I wish you all the best in your situation, and really hope your mom is a match. I love your positiveness (not sure if that’s a word) more than your blog. You are an inspiration!
Just wanted to say I’ve been thinking about you. You bring us so much joy, I hope you know we wish the best for you and hope things all go your way. Praying for you!!
Angie, so glad you’re out of the hospital. Positive thoughts & vibes to you. I hope things get better & your mom is a perfect match.
I am new to your website, but just wanted to say you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but know that God will take care of you. You are so talented and amazing at what you do! Take care of yourself and wishes for a happy day!
You are in my prayers. Sending a hug your way!

Almost every day you cross my mind as i see or read something that reminds me of how unpredictable life is. Please keep your spirits up and we are all praying for you and for everyone in the same situation.
Have a sweet day !
Hi Angie, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to hear that you are out of that hospital and back in your own bed! We’re realizing that not only are you a multi-talented gal…you are one tough cookie!! You know the saying that God won’t give you more than you can handle…well…I am sure, at this point you are thinking “Okay, Lord, I am not THAT strong!!!” I’ve been in that position thinking…”Okay…enough already!” But, you know, it is true. He IS there to lean on and will bring you through this. Praying that everything goes well for you and your Mom. God Bless You!
Welcome Home!! I am so happy to hear you are home and doing better. I wanted to send you lots of hugs and lots and lots of love and prayers are coming your way!!
Glad to hear you’re home, sending your love, hugs and positivity xx
So sorry to hear of your trials. I just now found out, I am way behind obviously. You are added to my prayers. The Great Physican heals all.
Healing Hugs!

I just read all of this. I am glad you are at home now. I pray God will give you the strength and peace you need going through all this. He is with you.<3
I’m so glad to hear you are at home and seem to be doing a little better. I hope you get some good news soon on your transplant and that it all goes well!
Glad you’re home & feeling better!!! Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers!!! Big Hugs!!!
Just letting you know that I’m thinking of you and hoping your mom is a match. I donated a kidney to my mom just 2 1/2 years ago. Unfortunately after about a year and half the kidney started to reject. She’s back on dialysis. I’m sad about the rejection but happy I was able to give my mom a year of freedom and the gift of life.
Lots of love and hugs and prayers for you, Angie!!! You’ll be back on your feet in no time. Thanks for the love and joy and sweetness (quite literally) that you bring to others. My hips aren’t thanking you, however. They have to do lots of cardio to keep up with the goodies I make from this site. ;-)
Hugs,
Diane
Happy to hear from you! Keep your chin up and add me to those praying for you!
So much love and hope for you from Brazil ! I miss you :)
Just stopped by to get some inspiration for my husband’s birthday cake, and saw your post of March 17th. Just wanted you to know that I’m adding you to my daily prayer list, and will be praying that dialysis goes very well and that a donor kidney will come along at the right time! Take care, stay strong and know God has more BIG PLANS for you!! I enjoy your site, and my girls and I are now addicted to making cake balls. Will have to read more to learn your tips and secrets in hope that our creativity will help us do more than the basics. Take care – God Bless!

How did I not know you were going through this? I am so so so sorry to hear it. :( We will all be keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers! <3
Get well soon!! I miss your posts. I found your site when I lost my job and your posts brought a smile to my face when nothing else could. I look forward to hearing about your adventures in baking again. My upcoming wedding will feature cake pops and all the credit goes to you, thank you for bringing some delicious sparkle to my life.
SO glad to see your post – wishing you a clear path in your journey, and lots of cute baked goods to light the way :)
Man that sounds tough, but I am an eternal optimist and I am glad your doing better and will wish you the best. As a fellow blogger I also wanted to say love your blogs design style!!
I am so glad to hear you are back home. I hope everythings gets better for you.
Hang in there ‘Bakerella’…your positive attitude is an inspiration. I have missed you!
I hope you get better and better through our prayers and God’s healing hands and that your mom its a positive match for the transplant. xoxo
Wrapping you in a giant healing HUG!!!
So glad to hear that you are home! Being home makes everything better! I pray that you will stay strong and your mom will be a perfect match! Please know that thoughts and prayers are being sent your way!
Love and hugs, I am glad you are home and I hope your dialysis is as easy as possible :)
Really gald to hear that you are back home. I hope that dialyse won’t be for too long. Lots of thoughts from Denmark.
HUGS HUGS HUGS!!! So glad you are home and I will pray for your continued recovery. You are an awesome person. You will get through this and I will see you at a book signing! :)
You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad you are home and pray that you are able to rest and enjoy some sense of a normal routine. If there is anything that I can do to help please know that I (along with many, many others) are here ready to help in any way.
so glad to hear that you are out of the hospital! personally, i don’t know how you made it through reading all of the prayers and comments – they even make me cry! but, you certainly deserve all the goodness coming your way, for i’m sure you’ve made each of our days more times than we can count! and for the bonds that you’ve helped us create with our children (even the ones we “borrow” :O)), we can never thank you enough!
prayers for your speedy recovery – and finding a quick match! organ donation is a wonderful thing… there is nothing more precious than the gift of life!
