Welcome pingram!  An important thing to remember about a ficus tree is that it is FINICKY!!!  Letting it get bone dry for 2 days can affect it for 2 weeks (or more!).  I wouldn't try to overcompensate with the water-you could do more harm than good.  If it was doing well before it went dry, I would continue with the regimen you were doing.  I've found it difficult to keep my ficus up to par inside, i think because it's not humid enough, so that may be another thing for you to consider.  I would probably try watering about 2x a week and spraying it really well with some room temperature water--good luck!

Thank you rozy221, I will try your suggestions.  
Hopefully it jumps back into it's healthy state.
Happy New Year!
