The only recourse you have here is a massive water change. Then another massive water change after that. I would say a 50% change then another 50% change then test. Adjust from there.

+1 on the massive water changes. You will wait forever for the calcium to reduce naturally. I'd do 50% wait 4 days and do it again.
