Take the car for a drive. A fairly long drive. Let it sit overnight and see if the dead battery problem persists. If so, then you may have a key-off drain. This takes some patience to track down. You'll have to begin pulling fuses to locate the culprit circuit. Also, while the car is parked, pop the hood and listen for the ABS pump or other devices that might be running.
Also, once this is sorted out, start driving the car. 60,000 miles for that age of car is not good. Mercedes' thrive on being driven and you're not doing the car any favours by letting it sit.

Golly gosh, I feel sooo bad. I feel like I need to go tell her how sorry I am. I have taken her for a very long drive and come home and park her and 15min later she's DEAD DEAD DEAD. I will try what you said and listen under the hood. I would drive her more but everytime I try to put my kids in the trunk they get away. I would promise to do better with putting miles on her, it would help if I know that when I got to where I was going I knew that I could come back. Anything I can try to figure this out?
