If the leaves are shrivelling, she may need to unpot it and do surgery to remove rotting roots, etc. Once repotted in fresh orchid bark, I would water it with a solution of a fertilizer-free, napthalene-acetic acid-based root stimulator, such as Superthrive. Captan fungicide may also be required. All in all, one of those things easier to prevent than to cure.
