Ok, there are two ways to go here:

1) Just change to third-person for the whole thing. DO NOT go back and edit it, you'll waste precious time, and all that can be done in Dec. That way you're not sacrificing any prose or your usual area of talent.

2) Give each chapter a different character to see through the eyes of. Eg. one chapter will be first person through the eyes of Ryjjil, the next chapter through the eyes of your MC, and so on. You can then title each chapter something like: "Ryjjil: "

You can do it!! :D
