Cattleya NOID - needs resuscitating or maybe a coffin

[MJG]

This cattleya is a favorite of mine, and it's in trouble. It is incredibly desiccated and I’m worried it's dying.

Last fall I decided to repot it. I divided it, put it in its new pot with medium bark, and fastened it down with a couple of rhizome clips.

A couple of months later, November, I got really sick and turned over the orchid care to my husband for 7 months. He did his best! He watered it once a week for a few months, then stepped it up to twice a week. When I took the watering back over a couple of weeks ago I was able to look at it. It looks super-desiccated. The leaves are wrinkled and downright floppy. There hasn't been the slightest sign of any grown since I repotted it last October.

I can think of a few possibilities about what's happened. The roots got too dry and may have died? Or maybe when I repotted it, I damaged it? It was a struggle to attach the rhizome clips. Maybe I broke the roots?

What should I do? I hate to lose this guy. Thanks.
