My two cents:
Moist, not soggy, soil.  Fewer roots=less water uptake.  If you can keep the soil warm (bottom heat) that will help.  Gradually increase light.  You might even consider a humidity dome for a little while (bottomless water bottle).

Disclaimer:  I've lost a few even using the above steps ;-)

I hope he perks up for you.
