Default When do i start to worry...?

I repotted a Dend. into S/H five days ago, it was still in bloom, but had some fine new roots growing to. I repotted it, becourse the bark it was in, was pretty wet. I had to trim off some rotted roots, too.
Now it has two yellowing leafs, from two seperate bulbs, the bottom leafs. And the blooms have started to wilt, foure have already wiltered. It has three bulbs, all with different number of leafs, and its the two smallest that seems to be struggeling. The biggest one is the one that is blooming, but theres is no yellowing leafs on this on at the time...
I know it will need some time to adapt, and that Dends. also can need a bit more time than f.i. Phals.
But is there anything i can do, exept be patience?
Should i cut the flower-steem? Take her out of the light? She currently outside during the day, and inside at night, and theres a lot of bright light in the daytime. Temp is around 80-90 F. and she under a shade.

The new roots seems fine, and i personally belive that this change is due to the repot, and that a had to cut some rotten roots. The Dend. may be a bit shocked at the time.
But i have no experiense with Dends. and need some reasurance...

Pics five days after repotting into S/H. About a week after i brought it home. The first pic is a bit brighter than reality, the second a bit darker.

Enough of those flowers are dead, that id cut it. The plant needs for get back into root/leaf growth mode, as it rests and recovers. Lowering the light, and heat a bit during this time will help. Without a good healthy root system, the rest or the plant will continue to suffer. Give it a rest.

I forgot to mention that theres growing some kind of node beside the flower-steem at the top. Is the chid supposed to grow more leafs on top ot the same bulb as the flower-steem is? Or is this something else? Could it grow two steems from the same bulb? Its quite small, and difficult to take pics of, but you can actually see it on top of the flowering bulb,almost inside the top leaf on the last pic.

I am not "big" on dens, but it seems to me they have a real tendency to drop a few leaves when undergoing repotting, and it really doesn't mean all that much.
