Your husband was charged and is on bail but you have retracted the statement?
This sounds like a domestic violence case. If this is true, please do not retract your statement, you are the victim. However, if its not, if your statement has been retracted it is up to the prosecutor to see if there is enough evidence to follow up with a trial. If there is not enough evidence the charges will be dropped and your husband will be set free. If there is enough evidence the bail is still in control of the courts and is dependent on the outcome of the trial.
