Default Near Death Psychopsis Recovering Nicely

Received this Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' from Ebay last summer. When it arrived it's leaves were all contorted,the bulbs were shriveling and it was promptly repotted...but hey, it had a spike. So the spike produced one sad bloom, and then it dried up and died. The leaves died one by one. In February the bulbs were grotesquely shriveled and the last remaining leaf was dry and brittle, but still green. I hate to give up on any Chid., but this one was destined for the trash. I took some close-up photos before resorting to this last drastic measure and was surprised to discover some signs of life peeking out around the pseudos. Now she has 4 developing pseudobulbs and her old shriveled bulbs are much more hydrated and plumped. Here are some before and after photos.
