My daughter loves to play all kinds of sports, 4 months ago she broke her wrist and i had to call out from work to take her to the emergency room, yesterday she broke her arm and i had to call out to take her down to the emergency room. I called work to discuss it with my manager and got yelled at, turns out he wrote me up for calling out those 2 days. I didnt sign it. Can they legal do that, because its a family emergency?

Yes they can and not signing it makes no difference. A write up is just a way of notifying you that they consider your attendance a problem that needs to be addressed by you. Why you miss work is not a factor.
