About all you can do for now is wait and see what happens, I know that is very hard to do. They will either die or send up new replacement leaves. I suppose it depends on how much of the plant is left. You didn't say if these were small and new, or old clumps moved from somewhere else. If these had beaucoup roots you will probably see some new leaves. So, hope for the best...

No, they are small and new.

Katy,I can tell you from experience,that they will probably survive,though may be stunted for awhile. If they do survive which they should,they will come back next year,good as new. I've done the same thing as you many times,and they always survived. Hostas are tough! Phil

ignore them for a few weeks ....

dont go poking around...

either of two things will happen ..

unaffected leaves from the center of the stalk will sprout ....

or the whole thing will die down.. but given time.. dormant buds will sprout ...

either way .. in my experience.. ANYTHING YOU DO ... will be negative ..

once it figures out what it wants to do ... we can go clean up the ugly stuff ...

next time pot them.. and hold them a little later.. but you probably figured that out already ...

Oh thanks so much, that makes me feel better!

Did they end up coming back
