If I understand correctly, you are not leaving immediately. You plan to test over the next day and a half and then leave to attend to your family issues. First, I would ask you if you wanted to leave immediately. Your family issue is certainly more important than your test responsibilities.
What is my role in this scenario? Am I a Test Lead? If so, I would discuss the issue with our Test Manager and work out a solution. My plan would be to extend the business day over the next few days and ask other testers if they would like to help us execute your test cases. I would probably decide to handle your re-tests and regressions myself.
Then I would ask the other testers if they would help me execute your test cases. Depending on the number of testers who agree, I will recover some to nearly all of the lost hours and it will likely be possible to execute your entire test suite.

Then I would inform the Project Manager of our plans and let him know that we will likely be finished executing your test cases over the next few days. I will also tell him that you are leaving soon to attend to your family issue.
