If the battery and regulator have already been changed and the battery is still losing charge then the first place I would look is the charging system. Get a multimeter on the battery and check if the meter rises to about 14.5 Volts when you rev the engine.

The 10 amp fuse that had blown, what did it supply? Just wondering if you have a short somewhere that could be putting a constant drain on the battery. Does the cooling fan cut in and out when required?

Hi Sally-Anne. Welcome to he site, shame you found it under the circumstances that you did but hopefully you'll enjoy it after your issues are sorted. Have a look here:

Daytona 600 / 650 188 issue?

On that page there's a useful link to this too: http://www.electrosport.com/technical-resources/library/diagnosis/pdf/fault-finding-diagram.pdf

I'm guessing that after what you've been through the battery terminals aren't loose? (Worth checking, though).

Hope something here helps before the funeral.

Take care,

B
