night terrors

The little guy seems to be having night terrors (ask dr sears) for the past 2 weeks. This nightly affair starts exactly 2 hours after he dozes off; repeats like a broken record throughout the night. We're really not sure what triggered this. He is not a good sleeper since day one ( not-a-good is an understatement ), but it wasn't consistently that bad. Could it be due to the pacifier weaning done last month? Or a fall at the park 2 weeks ago? Or just horrible tantrum? Terrible two? Teething? Overtired? Earache? Or just another developmental stage?
Anyway, he seems to be coping well with this. He's all cheerful when he wakes up in the morning and he can catch up his sleep at nanny's place, after all, that's what he did for the past two years, stretching his battery to the max at home and charging up by sleeping lots at his nanny's place.
However, MH and I are trying hard to cope with it. We're practically a walking zombie, surviving on adrenaline at the moment. When will this thing end? How long will our adrenaline going to last us? God, if you think a high need child is good for us, we hope you think unlimited energy, high EQ, strong immune system and wisdom are good for us too. Please grant us those. Amen.
