Poor Meiwa - what to do now?

Hi All,
I have a relatively new Meiwa Kumquat that is spending the Seattle winter inside in an unheated room with natural light, supplemented by CFLs. The problem is that I took it outside to get watered naturally by the rain - and then forgot it overnight. It got pretty cold/windy, but wasn't freezing. It looked ok the next morning, but the next couple of days quickly started to show the effects. Here's how it looks now. I've clipped all the fruit off, but haven't pruned it. It still has some green branches, but the new growth is completely wilted and many of the mature leaves turned brown, although they're still on the tree. Will it recover? How should I best treat it now? I moved it to filtered light, but I'm not sure how to atone for forgetting it! Any thoughts/suggestions? thanks!
