162 games gives us seven months of Mariners baseball, most of us tune in after work, maybe during work. Imagine if those daily games were the only highlight of your day.
Caleb Hopper counted on the Mariners to transport him away from his hospital room where his life was on the line at just 19 years old.Not just because Caleb Hopper is at a high-stakes Mariners game in the final week of the season, but because he’s even here at all. Last summer, just before his 20th birthday, he noticed he was having heart problems.
A journey that led him to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. Dr. Cristy Smith, the surgical director of heart transplant and mechanical circulatory support at Providence diagnosed Caleb with advanced non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. It's a disease that can be genetic, or due to a viral infection or exposure to toxins.
For 25 days in the intensive care unit, Caleb was on mechanical heart support, waiting for a donor. During the most uncertain moments of his life, Caleb says baseball always showed up. "The Mariners gave him a reason to get up the next day, turn on the TV, check the scores, it gives you something outside of another person poking me for labs, doctor who’s going to talk to me and just be normal," said Dr. Smith.
