Default Wilsonara Red Pacific "Deep Shadows" to repot or not to repot?

I just rescued this intergenetic hybrid and two other smaller phals from my mother who had been neglecting them in favor of her much more forgiving oncidium. One of the phals was beyond help and its likely going to die unless some miracle happens. The other phal I have cut the rot out and repotted with great benifet to the plant and new roots are growing. Going back to my main question: my mother repotted her wilsonara in a glazed orchid pot in what looks like pretty fine coco husk. This orchid was left outside to die in the summer and then she felt guilty about it and brought it back. It has one shriveled pbulb from its original mass, one small pbulb grown from that and another pbulb in the making (hasn't grown much in the past 2 weeks). I am not sure if the media and potsize of this orchid are good and the orchid is obviously stressed. I accidentally cut off a newly growing root tip when cleaning out the dead pbulbs which im sure cant be good either. I've ordered some kelpmax to aid these two rescues and I'm in the process of getting a fan for some air movement as the media the wilsonara holds a lot of water and seems to take 1.5 weeks to get to a point where I feel I wont be drowing the plant. Is it time to repot now or should i just let the orchid adjust to its new environment and repot in the spring I worry that it doesn't have enough energy storage in its pbulbs to take much more? also what is a good media for this species of orchid? i really dont want to lose this orchid it has some beautiful inflorescense. I'll post a pic later today when I'm off work to show you guys what I'm working with here.
