Legal Question in Medical Leave in Massachusetts

FMLA & Wrongful Termination

I had FMLA to take care of my fiance for her medical condition. I had notes from all doctors they asked for and was approved. Her condition worsend and I had missed a couple weeks of work but was told that I was still covered under FMLA. I knew my employer wasn't happy that I was using my FMLA but they did'nt say anything directly to me about it. I was out another 2 days and returned to work upon which they fired me for an honest mistake I had made. The thing is the mistake is made by all those I work with, it's a very common mistake. I had been with the company 3 years. I am questioning if there is anything I can do since I feel I was terminated because I was using my FMLA and they did'nt like it?
