Can my college kick me out?

Keeping it simple, I'm in a HNC 1 year course and it's only got 4 months left I have 3 lectures and mostly I see 1. This 1 in particular I've explained I've left an abusive relationship mid way through the course and have no help with my daughter my daughters 1 year old my ex was suppose to look after her during the days I am in but obviously that wasn't going to happen when he hit me , personally I also suffer from seizures and have my full life so I'm in and out of hospital, I've explained to my lecture and he said my attendance was 50% and came up with a plan to ensure I can come in and we agreed , however o just received a email from a different lecture trying to withdraw me saying my attendance is at 27% but I'm doing the same progress as others and scored higher than other pupils in my last exam what can I do I am also 4 months pregnant as well ?

honestly I think you need to:
1. decide if you can genuinely complete the course right now in this season of life
2. decide if you can complete it well (academically and personally)
3. If you can at all get reliable childcare for the next few weeks if you plan to finish

THEN speak to all your professors + your department about what’s really going on and what the updated plan is. I’m sorry that your back is against the wall and it all sounds very stressful but this too shall pass. I think the staff means well but you have a lot on your plate and there’s only so much accommodating they may do. The sooner you decide, the sooner things can improve but please don’t push yourself even further if you cannot salvage this course and or it’s already too much physically or mentally. It’s better to let it go and come back when you can do well and your children’s safety isn’t constantly on your mind than to force it, be stuck with the grades, AND it was miserable on you and the kids all around
