Jade plant frost damage

I'm new here and checked the forum for the answer to my question but was unable to find any info. My beautiful big jade plant has suffered frost damage. I had brought the pot in closer to the house under an overhang but when I checked it yesterday it was very droopy so I brought it in the house. Seems like I had heard or read somewhere that a little water would help a plant with frost damage. This morning I gave it a small drink. It had been pretty dry prior to the frost. Will the water help or make the damage worse? It doesn't look much different tonight. The main trunk and branches seem to be OK. Should I put it back outside with a protective cover after I cut back the damaged areas? I read here that they like the cold. I just don't want to stress it anymore than I have to. It's my baby if you know what I mean.
