FMLA is a federal, not a state law, so it does apply in NY State. FMLA allows up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per 12 months for parents needing to be abesnt from work because they need to care for a child that is seriously ill. FMLA does not list specific ailments or diseases. Check out the regulation for yourself at:
