Recovering Lost Pages Document After iPad Battery Dies?

I finished a very important college project yesterday night. I saved it, it was finished, everything was great - then my iPad battery died. No big deal, I plugged it in to charge overnight. This morning, I started my iPad2 back up to see that many Pages documents I purposefully deleted yesterday have magically re-appeared and my college project is gone. I've shut down my iPad and restarted it (I usually just leave it on sleep with my Smart Cover and never shut it off). Unfortunately, nothing has changed and my project is still gone. Through the Pages app, I sent it from my iPad to my personal email address on Gmail, but it isn't in my inbox, spam, or any other folder that it could have been sent to. I know that I saved it on my iPad. Is there any way I could possibly recover this? Thank you for your help.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1, Pages 1.6.2 (612)

I tried searching via start menu, but can't find it. I found a picture that I took yesterday afternoon on my iPad, so it must have done a sync between then and this morning. In the iTunes folder on my C drive, these are the files listed:

- iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources (this is a folder)

- iPodUpdaterExt.dll

- iTunesMiniPlayer.dll

- iTunesOutlookAddIn.dll

When I click on the iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources folder, there is a long list of files all ending in ".lproj"
