Can This Orchid Cactus be Saved?

About a week ago, its soil was dry and it was raining in the morning so I decided it was a great idea to take it outside. I was not going to be home for the day, so I thought of nothing since it was raining quite a bit. When I got back home, I noticed it was

sunbleached so I rushed to take it inside.

I was worried for the sunbleach at first so I looked up tutorials on how to prune it. I learned pruning it immediately was a bad thing to do...after I pruned a lot of its leaves. I repotted it less than 48 hours before reposting this so it has not had water since. I usually water it around every 3 weeks. I put it back onto my wardrobe where it thrived before, I also have my own custom light for it.

Please tell me what else to do, or if it is even possible for it to go back to normal.

*Not a Christmas cactus, it is an orchid cactus which is a tropical plant, but Reddit was not letting me select my own sub*
