Default Dried avocado plant rescue

I'm hoping someone can give me advise on the following
We have two 2-3 ft avocado plants, each in there own large pot. I
accidently let one get too dry. The leaves are all very dry (the
crumble), but the stems are still soft and green. When I discovered
it, I added water to the pot.
Now, with no viable leaves, can I bring this plant back? If so, should
I remove the dead leaves? Is there some kind of plant food that would
promote new leaves forming. The plants were grown from seed by my
wife, who is away for a month, and will return in two weeks. She will
be very ****ed.
Help!
