Default Phalenopsis root question

I'm not sure if these are healthy roots?

I got a dtps taida sara gem phalaenopsis a month or so back. It had 2 stems, small pretty flowers, typical phal look. The flowers were dropping off one of the stems, I saw that a stem at the base was broken and black-looking at the break even though the rest of the root was green. So I trimmed it off, treated the cut. The flowers continued to drop off that stem, so I cut the stem off. The other stem is good. However, the leaves have curled a lot now. I'm worried I haven't solved the problem? Does the plant need the other stem trimmed, not enough energy to maintain the plant without that root? The first 2 pics are from when I first got it, the 3rd is what the leaves look like now.

Thank you folks. Happy Holidays!
Kara
