No the poor soul lost all his leaves and is rather sorry for himself we are going to move him to under lights we have for seeds get him warmer he isn't warm enough to grow leaves where he is I got some fir bark and repotted him and removed his stem as the flowers died this should make him put his energy into growing more leaves rather than losing it in the stem and I have put them into water in the hope that if i leave it there long enough it will produce me a keikei I can only hope I am not giving up on him, I have 3 more orchids being delivered early next week a Dendrobium williamsonii a Thuma alba and a Maxillaria hematoglossa they all can handle temps of 10 c and we are going to build an area for them with lights and a fan I am just waiting on their arrival to see how large the plants are. Thanks for the thoughts I will let you know when and if he gives me new leaves.

Well he doesn't look too bad. Have you repotted him yet. You should do this to check the roots. If part of the roots are rotting, then you need to cut the rot portion out. This may be your only problem.
