I haven't personally used FMLA, but have been involved in explanations and investigations of the misunderstandings that resulted from use of it and the way my company has implemented it.  



Is your interest in the short-term aspects, as in using it for sick children, or the longer-term as in a protracted illness, a series of partial days missed over a long period of time, such as caring for aged parents or chronically ill family members or yourself?  Because FMLA can be called into play in each of these circumstances, it's a little hard to answer your question the way it is posed.  Can you elaborate just a little without violating privacy (yours or anyone else's)?
