No. While at will employment protects an employer against most forms of wrongful termination, FMLA, from my understanding, superscedes it.
I am not a lawyer so I’m not certain.
However, after your work restriction period ends, then your employer can fire you.

Would they be able to convince a jury that the firing had nothing to do with the medical leave? I doubt it. The lawsuit still would have happened.
