The poor kid has been moved around a lot lately and I'm sure he is concerned about being abandoned. My DS was the same way at times, and he was in the same daycare starting at 7 months! I'm glad he's back with you.
WHat I highlighted below in your post speaks volumes about your AW. She is concerned about herself. Period.

Court date for permanent order next week (Tues; Monday is a holiday) -- no phone calls or emails from AW concerning DS or her clothes or whatever.
