Need J12 advice

So DH has an arrhythmia called atrial flutter. He's had it for a few years now but lately it's been happening more and more. Yesterday while I was at work and he was home alone with Mira it happened again and wasn't resolving on its own. He finally called me after he almost passed out. I brought him to urgent care where the EKG showed his heart rate was going up to 150 so they called an ambulance and rushed him to the ER. The ER gave him meds to stop it which worked but then started to wear off while we were being discharged so they gave him a script for the med. we got it filled and he's called the cardiologist to get an appointment.
Okay so my dilemma is that he is home with Mira everyday while I work 40 mins away. I wasn't comfortable leaving her alone with him or leaving him alone today so I called out of work. So j12 would you try to find a temporary daycare (would be really hard for us financially to do this. Might have to borrow money from parents or bank) or continue to leave Mira home with DH during the day and hope for the best. Also we only have one car and it's with me at work bc I go between schools. Also any positive thoughts for figuring out what's causing this and getting it fixed are appreciated. I'm tryin not to think about how much the whole ambulance and ER visit is going to be.
TIA for reading this long winded dilemma.

Re: Need J12 advice
DH is big on not asking for help which is part of my concern bc he waited so long to call me yesterday. He's at increased risk for stroke and blood clots when he's having atrial flutter.
Fingers crossed that they find out what the deal is quickly!
