Sounds good!
I'm assuming the mouldy stuff is mould. Just be careful (if not aware only) that some white stuff that looks like mould or fungal growth on roots of some plants, like phalaenopsis, and in particular - paphiopedilum orchids - is ..... the roots can be hairy ------ giving some impression that there's fungal growth on them.
For example - in this link here - the white hairs are part of the orchid's own roots.

But - if some roots were indeed pretty wet and soggy, and some very soft and appearing to be breaking down, then it's likely that you saved your orchid. That's the benefit that an orchid gets from a grower that watches their orchids enough, and detects any changes that don't appear to be good.
