Twelve Days

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

  24. Best wishes to you. My sister had a kidney transplant just over 12 years ago, and at that time 17 years was the longest a transplant had been known to last.

  51. Again here for the experience of food cuteness exploding in my face.
    I am a bad influence, aren’t I?
    (if you didn’t see my previous post: #3628 on https://www.bakerella.com/twelve-days/comment-page-33/#comment)

  52. If you know me, am I unknown?
    If I am hated, am I loved?
    Sorry, feeling contradictory.
    So Sorry!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

  53. I’m so sorry…I’ll be praying for a quick recovery. ;(

  54. you are in my thought and prayers!

  57. I wish you the best, I wish you fast recuperation and I hope your mom is a match for you! If not, you should let us know how we can possibly be tested, to see if any one of us, can donate. This post of yours brought tears to my eyes. :( I know you’ll be ok, it’s just that when I read that you were sick, I thought it was something way less concerning than this, like a bad flu, or dehydration. I wish you the best, and we’re here waiting for you, so PLEASE please get well soon! :) Prayers for you and yours, every day! I’m sending you lots of XOXOXO! and love.

  58. Sending a million wishes all will go well and you receive your new kidney soon. You have been missed by many who have grown to love you and your work.
    God Bless, be well.

    As for commentor angel # 2. For shame. Only caring about being a first commentor and nothing more, proves your ignorance and complete lack of class.

  59. Saw your Tweet about going home after 18 days – hoepfully, you’ll improve faster in the comfort of your own place. Prayers for you!

  60. get well soon x

  61. This is the first time I ever been on your blog but was struck by the similarities in your story and my husbands. He got sick this past fall and was hospitalized and has lost his transplanted kidney of 16 years. He is on peritonial dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant when he is strong enough. It is a tough road but I know you can do it. Continue being postive and know that there are so many prayers out there fo you. Wishing you the best. It sounds like all of your readers are anxious for you to get on the mend as you are a bright spot in many of their lives.

  62. adding prayers to the many already going up for you to get well as soon as possible and for your kidney to truly heal or a new one to become available soon

    You’ve been amazingly strong and positive – I am sure you’ll continue to be so –

    I’ll be thinking positive for you too!

  63. my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray that your mom is a match so that you can begin your healing process very soon!

  64. My thoughts and prayers are with you Bakerella! hoping for a quick recovery!

  65. I am keeping you in my thoughts.

    Don’t feel guilty about letting your original donor down. You’ve lived a wonderful and sweet 18 years with that kidney. I hope your mom ends up being a match! Much love to you!!

  66. Oh no! Please focus only on getting well for now….wish I could be there to bake you something pretty and fun (although my attempt would fall far short of your gorgeous products).

    You are in my thoughts and prayers….so take very very good care of yourself, listen to the doctors and nurses, and get well very soon. We miss you!
    xxLisa

  67. Healthy thoughts and prayers headed your way! Hang in there!

    : )

  68. I was so happy to see a new post…and then I read the reason for your absence. Please know that you have provided a bright and fun website for me and my little 5 year old. She loves to view the fun pops on the website and so do I!

    We hope you have a speedy recovery and wish you all the best!

  69. Hugs to you. Take the time you need to rest. We will wait and pray for the best possible solution and a peaceful recovery.

  70. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. We love you Bakerella, get well soon!
    xoxo,

  71. Don’t you worry about us, sweet girl! We have plenty of archives of cuteness to last until your new kidney kicks in. The important thing is you take care of YOU! I’m praying you will heal, your body will get what it needs – whether that ‘s a new kidney or your old one deciding it’s not quite done yet! Peace to you and your family as you go through this.

  72. hugs and prayers to you and your loved ones while you go this this challenge in your life. I am sure your donor is smiling down at you and grateful that you were able to share an extraordinary 18 years together before coming to this point. I am in the middle of making cake pops for the first time ever today even though I have followed your blog for years. I am so not a good baker so I have finally grabbed enough courage after a friend made them and I tried them for the first time this weekend. So glad I came by to tell you I am trying my first attempt so that I could see the message you have shared above so that I can add my love and positive energy to the mass of it already being sent your way xoxo

  73. I am so sorry for you …
    I sincerly hope you’ll be better soon.

  74. My prayers are with you! As a living kidney donor, I know that there are a lot of other living donors out there willing to help…I hope that one of them is a match for you!

  75. Best wishes & my thoughts are with you! I hope you get well soon xx

  122. Thinking of you and you mom!

  123. Bakerella. I am just another one of many sending you my love today.

    My brother is 30 and has been on dialysis for 6 years. The chances of him getting a kidney are so slim due to a large amount of anti-bodies. It breaks my heart, I love him so much. Noone in the family is a match.

    I hope that your mum is a match and it will give you many more years of happiness. Life is so special and some of us have to fight harder than others to enjoy the privilege.

    I have my fingers (and toes) crossed.

    Thank you for your inspiration.

  124. “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” ~Lamentations 3:22-23

    My mom was on dialysis and had a kidney transplant a few years ago. I know the stress and uncertainties that come along with it. Praying that you will recognize God’s compassion and mercy in your life, Bakerella! Thanks for sharing your struggles so we can be praying!

  125. Thoughts and love from France to you and your familly! Your an extra strong person, nerver forget!

  126. I knew it had to be something pretty drastic for you not to be posting. My thoughts and prays are with you. Hope that it works for Mom to be your donor.

    thinking of you

  159. like many others, i’m a regular reader but not a commenter. however, how could i not send love and aloha from hawaii your way?! love, love, love your blog… and have made hundreds of cakepops with my niece. we love them to tears (but, thankfully, don’t have to eat them all ourselves!)! big thanks for your sharing all of your talents with everyone!

    please take good care of yourself and best wishes for a speedy recovery! may you can come back healthier than ever!

  160. I’ve been reading your blog since shortly before your donor awareness pops and I wondered if your illness had to do with your kidney… I’m so sorry that you’ve been having such a tough time.

    This is a great time to bring to light the amazing living donors that walk among us. Fingers crossed that your mom is match, and if that doesn’t work, fingers crossed for a quick match.

    Everyone should sign up for the donor registry! Be the match!

    Feel better soon.

  161. Bakerella you’ll be in my prayers. My 40-year old brother received my 60-year old husband’s kidney 1 1/2 years ago and both are doing well. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

  162. Best wishes for a new kidney and a speedy recovery! Sue
