Well what i did was setup a 29 gallon tank(hospital tank/Q-Tank) I added water and rock and crushed coral from my main tank to cycle it. After the levels came down to safe levels i put the lion fish in the tank. Then for 7 days per instructions on the bottle i dosed the water with MelaFix. Then today i did the 25% water change per instructions on the bottle. And after 7 days he looks 110% better as you can tell by the pics.
I too didnt think he was going to make it. But it looks like he is going to be fine.

I dont have any plans on trying to hand feed him. I only hand feed my Snow Flake Eel and sometimes he trys to take a bit at my finger. He is eating about 6 ghost shrimp every other day now. The ghost shrimp are about 1" long.
