Klutzy?

So Kai has been falling a lot lately! And I mean a lot and always on the same side (meaning it's always the same knee that is getting skinned out).....so it was off to the doctor, because there's Klutzy and then there's Kai's Klutzy.

The doctor felt he had good range of motion and didn't seem to be in any pain at all, he watched him walk to where the suckers were and didn't see anything wrong with this gait, a little flat footed but no big deal.

He checked his ears and the ear that has the tube out (it's blocking the ear canal) has fluid behind it, the ear with the tube still in place is clear and no fluid at all. The doctor is thinking that this fluid is causing enough of a pressure change that it is throwing off Kai's balance.

So I'm not just a crazy overprotective mother, there really was a reason why he was falling down all the time! Kai still is klutzy but not as bad as we thought! :-)
