Default Can this orchid be saved??

Hi all,

It may not have been the best decision, but I left my boyfriend in charge of my orchid while I went away for a year for school. When I came back, I saw that most of the roots were rotted.

I cut away all the rotted roots and applied a bit of cinnamon to them. All that's left are these 3 small root-looking things that look a little different from normal roots. It looks like there's plastic wrap over it or some kind of covering, similar to those english cucumbers packaged at the grocery store (Does anyone know what they are?)

On a better note, that new leaf that's growing from the crown has gotten bigger since I've been here.

Is this orchid salvageable? Are these 3 root-things enough to keep it alive? Thanks for any advice!
