Oh no! :( 
I would snip a leaf from any african violet with more than 3 left, and try
to root it..you might be able to salvage some of the plants that way. Aside
from that, keeping them warm, humid and in dimmer light than usual are the
only things I can think of.  Would you like leaves from my a.v's to help
fill out? I don't know the majority of variety names, but have minis and
standards. Send me your address privately. :)
