Well we are in Myrtle Beach and I had a check engine light come on while on the way down here. I had oreillys scan it and came back with a bad egr valve. My question is can I make it back home or do I need to fix this while im here?

Not sure how a PSD egr is controlled.
It could have a bad electrical connector or solenoid which operates the EGR.
What was the code that the computer kicked out?

As stated pull the egr valve replace run cetane boost in the fuel and drive it like you stole it to keep the valve and turbo clean and working (look here)

Sadly it's common for diesel EGR valves to get sticky. Sometimes they can simply be cleaned.
