OK here is the situation.

I applied for FMLA Intermittent leave on 06/16/08 for my Chron's.

Due to Doctor's vacation and such it is still ongoing.

Last friday I found out I had to stay home to take care of my son for a qualifying fmla illness.

So I applied for FMLA again for a week to take care of him.

My company says I can't do both. I can't have an open FMLA case for myself
and file one to take care of my son.

Obviously I am missing something.

I am going back to work Wednesday and having my mom watch him or maybe my wife takes off Hell I don't know.

Anybody have any clue why I can't take off to care for my son if I have a claim (not the same week) for myself.
