Hi Rachel,
Sorry to hear of your boyfriend having problems. I will suggest a "Memory Book" (small spiral notebook) that he can jot down info such as appts., who came to visit, time to take meds, feelings, future plans, etc. This will act as a portable memory chip until his memory gets better. ( I know this because I had a brain injury and went through short term memory problems and learned to use this same thing from my therapists.)
I also recommend a large calendar to keep by the phone/computer to keep dates posted on as well.
Have faith, be encouraging, and give cues when needed. Good Luck to you both, Dodi
