So, I sent Ally’s Mom a note, since she has her computer with them.  I asked:
“What's the latest progress report?  Has  Ally been fine once she stabilized?  Any chance they'll give you a  reprieve and let you go home this evening?”
 Three minutes later came this reply:
“The papers are being drawn up for us to go home.  That usually takes an hour or so.”
{{{ Hurrah!! }}}
