I'm sorry to hear about your little Lily. My Mylee had hip displasia and had the FHO surgery a year ago. Most dogs do really well post op with this surgery. We developed some very rare complications and Mylee had to have the surgery again 8 weeks later to remove some bone spurs that grew back. After that, we were given a 50/50 that she would ever use her leg again. Today, you'd never know she'd had that surgery or complications. If your Lily was in that much pain, you made the right choice and I think once you get past her recovery stage you will be amazed at how well she does. Be sure to follow your vet's instructions and she'll be fine. There are several members here who have been through this surgery with favorable results.
