Can someone please explain to me the oxidation numbers for every element in this reaciton?

FeCl2+NaOH---> Fe(OH)2+ 2NaCl

Thank you!! (this is from 2013 Destoryer, Q31 for GC)
 
I think the oxidation numbers are:
FeCl2+NaOH---> Fe(OH)2+ 2NaCl

Fe = +2 Cl = -1
Na = +1 O= -2 H= +1

Fe = +2 O= -2 H = +1
Na = +1 Cl = -1

Someone wants to confirm this?
