Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Can I Terminate For Excessive Excused Abscences?
I have an employee that has excessive abscences for the doctor, kids appointments, etc. I basically had to make a part time position for her instead of full time, as she needed extended breaks and lunches to pick up her kids, appointments, etc. She recently had a surgery (non-life threatening). I have warned her numerous times about her attendance. After this recent surgery, she came back for 2 days, now she's out again for a few days with ''pain'' from the surgery. She is a good employee (that's why I worked around her schedule), but now her attendance is affecting the office workload and mine as well and it is more trouble to keep her than to do without her. I have given her numerous verbal and written warnings. She is an ''at-will'' employee in CA. I only ask because she is the type of person that would probably sue at the drop of a hat...
