I could guess what you have done here but Im not going to, sorrry but you need to get a qualifid spark in to take a look. He will work it out in minutes. Just explain on the phone and you may even get a fixed price.

Sorry if thats not what you want to hear but neither is your husbands been electricuted and is in hosptial!
 
I think that RobFurn gave you a good advice. There are many things that you should know before you do this kind of a job. There are certain ways to terminate , extend or cancel a circuit or part of it. If you do not follow the regulations you might put in danger your family or any one who comes to the house and if something happens; not only that you might hurt someone but your insurance will not cover you.
