what this looks like to me is while you were away the plants got watered and the water stayed on the plant while the sun was on the chids hence the sun burn and those spots.
I also agree that the 3pm sun is to hot for the chids as the days are getting longer and the days warmer I would put up some shade cloth over the top just to give them more protection from the hot sun or place them under a tree outside with more shade

as for your third pic as you did have a small growth I think the same thing happened
the water may have stayed inside the growth the sun has hit and burnt it off for you sadly.
now the question you asked can it be saved
I would give the plant alot of TLC and you should be able to get new growth forming again maybe from the canes or new growth from the base.
