EMERGENCY!! I cut my orchid base with a razor.

Well my orchid was doing better. All of its blooms fell off and it turned yellow....and I brought back home and gave it water. Everything that everyone suggested.

I left a little bit of the stem still there. So I finally went back to cut the rest of it off. In the process of cutting the stem, the razor went right into about half of the base of the plant. The base of the plant that's below all of the leaves but above the roots. There is a thin line. I can lift-up the plant and it's about half still attached.

The leaves are still standing up on the plant just fine.

Is there any hope of the plantre repairing itself?? Or will it be detached in that place forever?? Will it die???

I'm so upset.
