Rachel,
1. I would concur with JJ and suggest you just either make/buy a reed which is stable enough to make those slurs, and then keep the air going! I see too many students (college level) try to even help it with the air and and it ends up coming out donkeyish.
2. I think your original fingers aren't bad.
a. Add the low B for your first D#
b. Use RIGHT HAND Ab for high E, so it'd be
back octave, hxx|Aboxx Eb

For both my Loree and Howarth, just adding the back octave key to the D# makes it a sharp D# and doesn't really work.
