Dear doctor,

Do not worry so much.

Generally shocks in homes are not so dangerous.
And as you told that heart beat of your baby was fine. So there is nothing to concern.

But remember next time that,

Try wearing some rubber slipper (or any insulating material under the feet) when dealing with anything electrical.

Stay healthy and take care.
