* to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
* to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.

Also, Renea has since come back and clarified that her employer is over 50 so she would qualify for the FMLA.
you are correct, I misspoke. You should be able to use FMLA after you've exhausted all other sick time etc.

the kicker will be the # of employees in her company...
