Just empty the dry pack into the wort next time after a few hours of it sitting on your counter. I wouldn't worry about re hydrating yeast until you're further down the road in experience. It's one more thing that can go wrong, and it appears that it did.

Don't be surprised if your beer is funky from sitting for 96 hours, which is a long time for fresh wort that's prime for wild yeast and other critters to get into without any protection (fermentation).

It's "probably" fine, but it would be one of my concerns.
