Hi sharkmad
Whilst they can regrow limbs after trauma, that's true, I would doubt a fully, thoroughly 'squished' one would be able to. Given you have shrimp though and perhaps fry, who need food and cover, if it was me, I'd do a two pronged attack
Firstly, remove the majority of the bog wood and terracotta, not all of it though and give a good scrub in old tank water, rinse thoroughly with pre conditioned tap water in a bucket and replace. Chuck the elodea in full (cheap and easy to replace). Trim the remaining slow growers (anubias etc) where you see any infection of the critters.
Secondly, reduced feeding and good tank cleaning (hoovering etc) should deal with any that remain over the next few weeks. The last ones should just die away after that
