Well, I got most of the aloe out of the pot. The stem was broken completely through so I cut it just above the break and cut off any dying leaves. There were only a few, and it even looks like there is a small new leaf growing from the center. So, I'm hopeful. I also gently worked the baby aloe out, which I was able to remove with its roots intact. I plan to replant Sunday, if they seem to have healed enough.
I do have a couple questions about the baby aloe. I got it out with the roots, but can't tell if they're healthy. They're mostly dark colored, even after a good rinsing. But they're not slimy or mushy at all. There even seem to be little offshoots if new roots trying to grow. If they're healthy, do I get the baby aloe right back in soil or let it sit out to harden like the mother?
