As long as you're okay with any minor cosmetic blemishes created, you'll probably be just fine.
I had it installed Jan 19th but I don't think it started leaking right away. I'm guessing it's been there for about 2 weeks. The attic has good ventilation and like I said there was no standing water, just wet. The blown in insulation was wet too but not smashed down. The moisture mostly followed the 2" x 6" rafters and then spread out into the drywall panels.

If it did mildew/mold wouldn't I know about it in the next week or two?
