HI...by what you quote I feel that your kid is presenting with a classical history suggestive of -
1. a neurodegerative disorder or
2. A sub-acute form of cerebellitis most probably viral in origin or post viral.
If it is neurodegenerative disorder - normal MRI doesn't rule it out in the early stages. But acute or sub-acute cerebellitis should have been picked in the MRI brain.
I suggest you consult a pediatric neurologist for this.
