Default Can this Lctna be saved?

I have a Lctna Happy Face that I bought in bloom in September. I made the mistake of re-potting it in November and now it is doing very poorly. Here are some photos:

I think it got severely dehydrated. Should I try sphag in a bag? It appears to have at least 1 new root and 1 new shoot.
Have I killed my first orchid?

I would be inclined to leave it in it's pot, water a bit more and keep it in a warm sunny spot. You might try some root hormone with your water/fertilizer.

I agree with Joann! I wouldn't disturb it. Keep it in a warm sunny place...it already looks like it's doing it's thing for trying to recover. Plus that mature p-bulb next to it has a lot of juice left in it even thought the leaves look pretty dehydrated. Just keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't take a turn for the worst!

Thanks for the advice- I guess I have nothing to lose by watering it daily and keeping it under lights.
