...but if your runoff (from soil) is 6.2 to 6.3, that's nearly perfect.

Try not to trim leaves unless you have to, though Jorge recommends trimming any leaf that has over 50% yellowing or damage, which is a good overall rule-o-thumb.

As far as the breaking-of-the-main-stalk goes, your plant should be ok, as long as you give it enough time to recover, and baby it a bit (try misting it two to three times per day until it perks up).

If your temp is 77-78f, and your PH going in is 6 to 6.5, you should be fine.
