Hi Gmapaw,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Dropping things is a very nonspecific symptom and MS is very remote guesswork.
I think your must undergo a clinical assessment by a local physician about his general and neurological status.
There are a host of diseases which can cause such symptoms and are much common than the MS. Disease causing such symptom may be myoclonus, parkinsons, alzheimers disease, encephalopathies to name a few.
A personal physician visit will provide lots of insight and will help in managing this patients.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
