Alright, the leaves were essentially dried up so I removed them and the two remaining stems.

I removed the bulb and dumped the soil (I believe it had thrips in it).
The bulb has three balls on it. One side of the bulb was a little damp with a loose wrinkly skin that came off easily, revealing a moist area underneath. Felt firm though.
Is this a problem?

I put the bulb in a small container of fresh soil, about halfway down.
I sprayed the top of the soil with insecticidal soap and put it in an out of the way spot.

Attached is a picture of each side of the bulb.
