It should be okay. What's going to happen is the leaves will wilt and turn brown and the stock from the top will turn a dark brown. Keep it warm. During the day set it on a window ledge where it can get warmed by the sun but take it out at night because of the cold through the glass. When/if it turns brown starting at the top, cut it about 1 inch below the brown spots where it's still green. This is because thatpart is dead and will rot and will slowly consume the plant. Keep it watered, but well drained, and the soil keep slightly damp. By the next day you should see a white stump growing out of the center of where you cut it. This is a good sign and the plant will "regenerate." After a few days it'll start growing new leaves. If you want to really ensure the new grown take it into the bathroom and place on counter. Turn the shower on hot and let the room fill with steam. Cut the top off below the brown and let the plant stay in there for about 15 min. (don't let the water hit it, you want the steam) this is to simulate the tropics and the humidity it's used to. Good luck! Oh, and don't forget the plant food. Just use food for fruit trees. Miracle Grow is the best.
