New plants - nearly frozen leaves

I just received an orchid order including a Den. Blue Violetta 'Hawaii' in a 4 inch pot. Although the packing was excellent and everything else is fine, some of the leaves on the Den. are wrinkled and a little limp. A few leaves actually appeared to be nearly frozen. I'm sure I'll loose these leaves, however, I don't want to loose the whole plant from the cold. It's being acclimated to my home temperature and humidity right now and I wonder if I should do anything else. By the way, I live in Illinois and it's only 18 degrees today. My plants arrived by 2-day air from Hawaii. Maybe it didn't like the extreme change in termperature!

Some of you have mentioned Superthrive. Might this be a time to use it? Would appreciate your input.
