Yes, you can save it, or parts of it, so first, relax. Next, look at the bottom. If it's just the roots that have rotted and the base of the plant looks ok, take off any rotten looking tissue with your fingers (you're not cutting deep, just getting rid of any soft, gooey stuff) and set it aside for a day or two just on a counter, your kitchen table , where ever. What you are doing is letting the good parts dry out and scab over so they wont rot in the next step. Now, and don't feel you have to rush this part, it's not going to mind being rootless for a while, set the plant upright - you'll have to stake it, DON'T burry it deep enough to hold itself up - in new soil. Never reuse soil a plant has rotted in. Aloe want a fast draining mix that dries out between waterings. Cactus soil with added drainage material (small lava rocks, fish tank gravel, other clean gravel, COARSE - NOT fine- sand, some people use pearlite, that kind of thing) is good. Smaller pots are better, don't pot it with anything else, it'll offset and fill the pot on its own. Water spairingly even for rooting. Your problem was caused by too much water. I didn't water my aloe vera at all between November and last week. Give it time and in 2 months or so it'll be well rerooted. If you don't have a good base and will need to work from leaves, let us know and we'll tell you how to go from there. Good luck! What is the other plant you potted it with?
