@Marian--reguarding your husband, similar things have happened to me. I was knocked out for a colonoscopy about a year and a half ago. Both my parents were present, which is rare because of my father's schedule, but basically when I woke up, I started screaming at my dad, and telling him all the things I'd been mad at him for for several years--it was the first time my mother heard about a few of the things too-- and a few minutes later I had very little memory of what I'd said to him exactly, (I was pretty sure because I'd been wanting to say the same thing to him for a while) but basically all of my judgement was gone and there was no filter between what I thought and what I did. It's a lack of control which I could see as terrifying, especaily if you were in what you percieves as a vunerable position at the moment. (Maybe he wouldn't think anything of your driving normally, but then, the thought popped in and he acted on it)
I didn't harm anybody, but I can see where it would be possible for your husband to have in that situation.
The solution to that might be as simple as having him sit in the back seat if possible, or escorting him home in a cab. (Probably with you in the front and him in the back) Or have someone (probably a larger male) accompany you.

As for your son, I'll echo what everyone else is saying, call the school, see if they have any procedure for such a situation.

Good luck to your son, I went through the same thing last year.
Is the potential diagnosis IBS or IBD? (My brother has the former, I have the latter)
