acquired a free Phal today...need help, please

Hi everyone,
I was shopping today (in Decatur, Al) and decided to stop by a greenhouse nearby to see if by chance they had some orchid-growing supplies. I felt sure they didn't but I decided to check it out to be positive. They had very few orchid supplies (basically almost none, in fact), as I assumed.....but, they told me that they DID have some orchids. I had definitely not planned to buy one there (or anywhere today, for that matter), but I decided to take a look anyway (sort of like window-shopping, in a way lol ). They did indeed have orchids for sale.....6 to be exact. lol They looked so pitiful although all of them had some obvious established roots...and new growth, also. I told them about the bad experience I had there sometime back.....that I bought a $35 orchid from them but found out when I got home and un-potted it that it had only 3 roots.....all mushy and rotted .....as well as 1 slug enclosed . By the way, I'm still trying to re-root that Phal right now. The manager apologized to me and told me to pick out 1 of any of the 6 orchids for free. I thought "better to go home with a free (but sick) orchid than go home with no free orchid at all" lol Bottom line: I picked 1 out, came home, un-potted it and found that it had several roots, but most of them were rotted....plus there was some little creature that looked somewhat like a silverfish living there, as well. I cleaned it up, as best I knew how and am hoping that I can save the orchid with your help, plus there is a keiki, although I have no idea what to do with it. I knew you would know, so I really would appreciate it if you will clue me in. I'm attaching a couple of pics for you to take a look at, if you don't mind. Sorry for the loooong post, but I felt the need to explain the situation.
