As long as you have the AP/EAD combo card and filed for AOS within 180 days of your I-94 expiring, you can travel on the AP. Just to be correct, your K-1 visa expired the day you used it to enter the US. The I-94 is the ruling immigration document and as long as you did not have an "over-stay" of more than 180 days from the time the I-94 expired and you applying for AOS then the AP is valid. If you files more than 180 days then the "over-stay" or out-of-status time would make the AP card invalid and you would not be allowed to re-enter the US.

Sounds like you are good to go.

Matter of Arrabally last year reversed this.

You need an Advance Parole in order to leave the U.S. and come back. Otherwise your AOS will be abandoned, and you won't be able to enter the U.S. for 3 years because you have overstayed for more than 6 months. Do you have an Advance Parole? Since you only sent in your AOS (and I'm assuming an Advance Parole application along with it) last week, I'm assuming that you don't, since it usually take several months. If your mother is really ill I think you can go to your USCIS office and ask for emergency Advance Parole, but they might not give it to you.

You should receive advance parole within 90 days from the application, if there are no RFEs. But potentially there is a concern with traveling since you waited more than 180 days past the expiration of your I-94 before filing. Until recently, that meant that leaving the US before your adjustment of status was approved would result in denial, even if advance parole had been approved. As "newacct" mentioned, there was a ruling last year that may have changed the situation but a lot of people still consider it risky. The most conservative thing to do is to wait until your adjustment of status is approved (i.e. green card granted) before you travel. That could also be as soon as 3 months from filing, or as long as 9 months.
