Wow. It'll be something to have those make it thru! I would also mist the roots (dampen them, not the bark like ES says) with a spray bottle that has Kelp Max in it. I recently saved a phal that I had (shamfully) neglected by that method. It was a full size phal, leaf span about a 7 or so inches, and it sent out a huge thick spike with gorgeous flowers on it. Almost too late I realized that it had flowered as a last ditch effort to reproduce, because I checked the root system, and it had one root!! One half dead root, all the rest were gone! I cut the spike off so that it could conserve energy, and repotted it in bark, misting it with the kelp max (can't say enough about kelp max!)and put it on a warming mat. Today that plant is a much smaller version of it's former self, but very healthy, with plump roots as well. Good luck! Bringing orchids back to happy is very fulfilling in my opinion
