Tranny EMERGENCY!!! Please HELP!!!

Today, while driving home from work, I noticed that I had a nice smoke trail going. To make a long story short, I pulled over and found that a clamp on a tranny line had fallen off allowing the hose to come off, spewing tranny fluid everywhere. My grandpa came and gave me some Dexron II fluid (2 qts) with which i was able to drive 15 miles to my house. I repaired the line and filled with the DII fluid I had, but I was still low after adding 4 qts. I went to the only 24 hour station within 20 miles of me and they had no Dexron II, just Dexron IIE. I bought 2 quarts and that's what's in the tranny now. I will HAVE to drive the 20 mi to work tomorrow morning on this fluid. My question is, can I keep that fluid in there permanently, or do I need to change the fluid now? I won't be able to see your responses until I'm at work tomorrow, but I still appreciate any input. For now, it's my bed time. I'll elaborate more tomorrow. I'm tired.
