What is all the mess bestween the branches?
You ust potted it in a bigger pot, without disturbing the roots? Then just keeping the soil slightly moist, give the plant lots of naturaly light (Not too much sun for now) and if there it still hope, you should start to see new buds forming in the next 2-4 weeks. Not much more you can do (Except for perhaps a good spray with water till the branches are dripping wet every few days, till you see new growth).
Keep away from heaters & airconditioning vents (!)

Leatherback. Thank you. Well I was told it's an aerial root, I don't know how true it is . It appears to be just branches can awry but there is density in there. Right now we have it under a large skylight , there is no vents near it and temp in our home is usually 60-67f. I'm not sure if that would be too much sun . There are a few leaves on the top
