Can't tell if my phal can be saved

Don't add ice!!!! It's a marketing gimmick. The cold is actually more than it can handle. As for your other orchid, the switch while it was stressed may not have been so good, but you may give it a fighting chance. The new roots are promising, but you need to give the orchid lots of humidity. When this has happened to me, they have all died. Just be prepared. Growing isn't really that hard, but there is a learning curve. I used the same soil like mix for mine until I realized you shouldn't, and I've lost very few since then... Knocking on wood, lol...
