Bible Question (short): Why does the child sneeze 7 times?

Question (full): I would like to know what this story represents. I understrand the revealed meaning but I would like to know the symbolic meaning. Why does Elisha send the staff first? Why does Elisha lay on the child, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, hand to hand, and etc ? Why does Elisha do this twice? Why does the child sneeze 7 times?
