My little Leah Wilkerson suffered from rhizome rot after the Texas snow storm, and I removed the rotted bits, cleaned it up and repot it.
And sprayed fungicide, you guys think it'll make it?

Green = life.
If you scraped away all the rot, and the remaining rhizome is firm, you have a good chance at getting her back.
Good luck.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

I don't give up on plants either until they do. I've had some good luck sometimes. Like Chef said, if it's still green for more than a couple of days there's a good chance it'll come back.

Look at it this way.....if you can take a slice of a rhizome with 1 or 2 roots on it or a leaf pulling and have them grow, your chances are pretty good!! I had 2 "dead" pots of D. 'Marston Dragon' that are now doing fine!
Let us know how it turns out! Good luck!

As others have said, where there is green there is hope, keep it wetter than you would normally and keep treating it with sulphur.
good luck

Try bringing it indoors, wetting up the media a touch (fresh media ofc) and spraying fungicide a couple more times. Then, Bag it. I've saved most of mine this way.

^^^ This is good advice. If you bag it, be sure to open the bag every day and circulate the air.

Thank you all for the advice, I'll see if it's necessary when I come back from vacation to do that.
