UPDATE! After thinking about it all night, I decided to take out my Calandiva from her bigger pot, completely expose the roots to check for root rot (thankfully no signs of it), and then repot it into the only pot I had available with fresh dry soil. I made sure to gently pat the roots dry with a paper towel. Now I have her safely indoors in front of a North facing window (I have no windows that face south with a platform to set her on).  
I think I can save her! Her leaves are definitely not as droopy as last night :)  
Fingers crossed!!  
Side note: I 100% mean to put her back on the bigger pot once the soil in that one has dried. I would hate to waste so much soil.
