Just had baby, Husband fired from job today

So we just had a baby 5 and a half months ago. Husband has been at his job for over 10 years and is supposedly a top performer (by the numbers).They fired him not for missing necessarily but for not giving enough notice. They wanted 2 weeks notice everytime. But when you have a baby and they are sick.. I mean that isnt possible. He still had a week of PTO left even.. Everytime he missed it was for doctor's appointments for the baby and to stay home with her when she was sick. I work full time too, but do not make enough to cover our rent by myself and other bills. Im freaking out.. He is SO depressed and im worried sick. They are refusing severance.. I dont know if he will get unemployment..He says they never gave him any formal warning about how not giving enough notice could result in losing his job. Please ANYONE.. Have you been in this situation? please share how you go through this. Advice? help help help

He may be penalized for being fired but still able to draw unemployment
Here they make you do job search's and take classes so your not just sitting home saying you can't find a job ,
But my ex was fired over to many absences in a 90 day period (She was rehired )
But all of them had a doctors excuse ,they found she was wrongfully terminated and she got her back pay and I think her insurance stayed in force .
But she did finally get paid .
They rehired her again ,,then I let her just quit
They did not treat employees right
Look into Children and Families as well ,see what assistance they can give you
