Plans have changed, can I ditch the last connecting leg of my flight and start a new round trip?

1.) will our checked luggage continue on to Arkansas in the event we "miss" our flight from Atlanta to Arkansas
The airline will not let this happen, its a security risk and once they determine you are not on the aircraft they will remove the bags from the flight.
2.) will we get flagged for boarding an entirely new flight to LA while the last leg of an old trip is still in progress.
What you are trying to accomplish is basically "hidden city ticketing", where you elect to not complete the full journey.
Airlines can and do penalise passengers for these actions, as they can cost the airline money through lost ticket revenue (typically, "hidden city ticketing" is done because the intermediate stop is cheaper when taken as part of an ongoing journey rather than the ultimate destination - there are many reasons why this is the case).
Your best bet in this case is to amend your ticket with the airline - call them up and have you re-ticketed to Atlanta rather than Arkansas. This may cost you some money, but it resolves any hassle you may encounter otherwise.
In all such cases, my advice is simply talk to the airline. You have a valid reason to amend the ticket, and if you present a medical note from the doctor then your costs may even be waived by the airline.
