Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

Family leave for brother's care?

Am I eligible for Family leave under the Family Medical Leave Act if the family member I am caring for is my brother? My brother was burned over 90% of his body in a house fire 1 1/2 years ago and my 72 year old mother is unable to care for him by herself.
