It's a shame this dog wasn't properly socialized.But don't think you don't give up yet. One of the things you might try is leaving a "drop line" on him. That is , just leave a cheap leash or cheap piece of rope on his collar{only in the house for safety reasons} This is so you don't have to reach for him you can just grab the drop line and coax him with that. It helps also with him learning to have the weight of the leash on his collar. Once he gets used to having the leash on and doesn't do the flailing when you have it in your hand then you can attach it to your waist and go about your daily routine with him in tow. this helps with the bonding process because you are really not paying attention to him but he gets to know your routine through observation.Make sure your husband becomes involved in this since he was the one being bit.
I'm a professional dog trainer in Pennsylvania and would suggest finding someone close to you with good dog behavioral experience. I agree with trying something homeopathic to help with the transition. Check out the references of the people you get to train your little dog he certainly doesn't need another person to be harsh with him.
