I agree with nepalbanda.

Below is from the USCIS site:
--
Travel outside of the United States may have severe consequences if you are in the process of adjusting your status (applying for a green card). In general, if you are seeking immigrant status (a green card) and depart the United States without the appropriate documentation (i.e. advance parole) you may be inadmissible to the United States upon return, or even if admitted, you may be found to have abandoned your application.

If it is an emergency, I would apply for an expedited Advance Parole processing. I have heard of cases that have been approved within a week if the reason is a valid one.
