My daughter is 17 and a junior in the ColorGuard at her school. She absolutely adores performing, but she has some health issues that get in the way sometimes. Her chronic illnesses caused her to miss the past season of marching band and she now needs an implanted Port-A-Cath in her chest for medication. It is accessed 24/7 and must remain dry at all times, otherwise she could get an infection. I just don't see how she can continue to do band. Have any other parents had their kids be in band with any chronic illnesses, or having a port?
