The eggs should be OK with a drop as long as it was only for a few days.
But get the temp back up to were it should be.
It may effect the sex or pattern but they should still hatch OK.
I had an incubator go off one weekend and the corns hatched fine a month later.
I also know a guy who does not use an incubator and just leaves eggs in boxes on a shelf in his reptile room. They take longer to hatch but he gets good hatch rates for a lot of different corns, rats and king snakes.

As others have said, they'll most probably be fine as you set the right temperature again. And make sure your husband does not get near them again...

I think rubbing hot chilli peppers in his pants is enough. :p
