@capsong were they going by/wilting anyway? Flowers on the orchid only lasts for so long. If all the flowers are gone then you can trim the stem back to the base of the stalk . Some people cut the stems back to where the last flower grew from hoping to produce another flower spike with more flowers but it doesn’t always work.
If the flowers fell off prematurely then posting some pictures would help a lot.

@capsong without a picture I can’t say for sure but it sounds like it was just the end of the road for the flowers. Now just take care of the orchid with proper water and light and hopefully it will bloom again for you! Sometimes it can take several months or longer for it to flowerr again. Don’t be discouraged, just keep up the care. And give it some dilute fertilizer. I like one you dissolve in water. I make it 1/2 strength and water with it each time, skipping once/month using just plain water for that watering 💦. Don’t get the crown wet!
phaelanopsis orchids’ blooms don’t last forever, usually only lasting 1-2 weeks, then they die off. if you want more blooms, you can cut the spike in between the last closed eye and the first open eye
