Unhappy Leaves Yellow and Falling off

I received an orchid as a gift last Valentine's Day and I know NOTHING about growing them. I took it to a local florist and the florist said he thought that it was a Dendrobium and gave me tips on watering and basic care.

Since the first blooms fell off I never got it to rebloom but the plant was in perfect health... until about a week ago when the leaves began turning yellow and falling off. It has lost almost all of its leaves! There is new growth sprouting up from the bottom that appears to be green but the leaf is still too small to tell.

Someone help! This was a very special gift and I just wonder if there is any hope of saving my beloved plant. I've attached some pictures for clarity.
Thanks so much.
