When I first got my Logan I was sure he hated me. The first week was the worst week of my life. I got this puppy that I had wanted for ages and he hated me. He wouldn't listen he constantly bit me and always went to my husband. My husband told me that if I thought we should take him back okay. So I slept on it that night and I realized I couldn't be without him and just started working with him and everything cool now. I understand how you feel it's a big commitment and very scary. And that poor dog is terrified. She's only ever know a kennel she doesn't know how to deal with people so you must teach her. If you can't afford an x-pen you can use a childs playpen, you can pick them up at a garage sale or you might have one already. I would place her in the playpen in the room with you. This way she can get used to your sounds and smells and still feel safe. I would take her out to potty 4 times daily and use heavy leather gloves and long sleeves incase she nips again. She will get used to you and a leash eventually. We don't have a fenced in yard and we do take our dog out on a leash everyday as often as he needs to so that's not a problem. she's very scared and afraid of you let her know that you want nothing but the best for her. Give her a week to adjust to you and then see. And in the nicest way possible tell your hubby to back off. And please make sure you take care of that bite. Do you have the vet record on Lily? I would take her to your own vet as soon as possible.
