I am afraid that I may get too many B's as final grades my senior year. It is not from not trying but I am having a hard time with a couple of classes. Would they rescind an appointment if they think my Senior year grades are bad?
 
They can rescind your offer if your senior-year grades are bad. Your senior-year grades are not bad.

If I had a very difficult personal situation, and as a result my grades dropped and I may fail one of my classes (IB Spanish), is it recommended that I contact admissions?
My father was diagnosed with cancer during the ending of December and it affected my mental state significantly.
Days that I went with my father for his appointments I was not excused for my work, despite reaching out to my teachers via email.

Well what would they consider bad senior year grades. Because for my 7th semester I had only 2 Bs. But it may turn into 2Bs 1 C.

No one can answer this question. We do not work in admissions. I personally have never heard of an appointment being rescinded for "bad grades" during senior year.
 
If my sons Senior slide grades didn’t get him rescinded last year you should be fine. He didn’t even have an excuse for it and they weren’t even good. Didn’t fail anything though if that matters.

Your bigger concern should be what you’re doing to assess the shortcomings and how you’re going to be better prepared to succeed at USAFA. Things will only get tougher there. Beyond academics, there are the military and athletic obligations. Not to mention the standard miseries of doolie year. So suggest you do some soul-searching to determine how you’re going to raise your game.

you're fine, B's are not bad! Not everyone goes to the academy as a straight-A student. There are B's, even C's on some report cards.
