Regis, calm down! If you did minimal damage to the root system and potted the tree in an appropriate soil mix (which it sounds like you did) and put it in a container that allows good drainage, it is very unlikely that your tree won't do just fine. Now, give the tree time to recover. Start worrying in a month or so if the tree looks to be dying. Don't forget to water when the soil looks to be drying out and don't overwater. Place the tree outside with at least 5 or 6 hours of Sun a day. Let nature take it's course. You will be pleased!

Sounds like you need to get started on another tree. This one may suffer from over-attention!
