Hello Cynthia,
My experiences have brought me a bit into the direction of what your
asking but not exactly.
I have run immuno on slides that have been stained with H & E. They work
just fine.  Just as you said, you work the coverslip off and run them back
into water and start your procedure in some instances I retrieve and in
other instance I have not.  Both work fine. Hope this helps even though
it's not exactly what your looking for.
