Update on Me and Elijah

Hey everyone,
sorry I haven't written much lately. Thanks to everyone who has responded to my email about me being too fat, so much great info and advice...I am saving all your replies.
I have been going through a bit of depression lately and I am also dealing with a 6 yr old having panic attacks, ugh. Started when he (Elijah) got an electrical shock from a nite light about a week ago, he has been fearing death since then...his poor body was so tense and he was shaking and screaming that he didnt' want to die. Last night I had to take him to the emergency room at NAS Jax at 4am. They did and ekg and tested his urine and he was fine. Tonight at about 1am he started screaming he needed to go to the hospital that his eyes were burning and hurting, full out panic attack and freaking out. I think he has a sinus infection, he made me turn out all the lights in the house, said it made his eyes hurt worse. So, I gave him some sinus meds and tylenol, and made him layou on the couch in the living room with me, he feel asleep about 45 minutes later, but before he fell asleep, he kept asking me to take him to the hospital.
I dont' know what has prompted these panic attacks, whether it was the electric shock from his night light or a combination of that and not seeing his dad for a month since he is out on the boat.
Any how, please say a prayer for Elijah and I.
