Amaryllis and Hippeastrums: bulb in distress?, 1 by Kizmo

I have a new Charisma bulb that I planted after Christmas, it has 2 nice stems and buds about to bloom out. The bulb is getting soft, and I'm afraid I'm going to lose it, but since it's about to bloom, don't want to disturb it.. This is the first bulb I've had do this. We were gone for a couple days vacation and I think Dad may have watered it again while we were gone. The papery outside covering comes off very easily and the first layer of the bulb feels like it could be peeled off.
Any suggestions on what to do with this or do I just wait it out?

Thanks,
