The FMLA only covers leave to care for immeadiate family members. An employee�s spouse, children (son or daughter), and parents are immediate family members for purposes of FMLA.
Unfortunately a grandchild would not be covered under the FMLA.
The following website has a lot of good information on the FMLA.
