Hi. I'm so happy your family is safe. I'm sorry your having panic attacks and I have had them. It was a huge reason I barely left the house at one point . I still have them and this pain issue doesn't help but when I did biofeedback I found it helpful. I encourage you to look into some type of treatment for that. Have you thought about therapy? I think it really has helped me learn how to cope though still have what I call the ants in the pants. I also know that anxiety does not help with the pain issue. So it may help in other areas too get the anxiety under control. As for your kids and them getting the call. As a child I guess I made my mom promise even if they were 99 percent sure its nothing to tell me. I know you don't want them to be worried which is natural but I know for me always wondering if something is wrong and her not telling me is worse. Think if your kids hid something from you about there health? Take care and I hope your family hang in there too.
