The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is complicated, but this answer is simple. Under the FMLA a covered employee can take leave for his or her own serious health condition, and for the serious health condition of his or her child, spouse, or parent (but not in-law).
The health condition of a grandparent does not trigger the benefits of the FMLA.
Your employer is correct that you are not eligible for the FMLA in this situation.
