Unless I have some idea of your son's medical condition and the medical reasons or other reasons why law enforcement will not allow you to speak to your son who is in police custody at the hospital, I simply cannot answer your question. I suggest that your son retain a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if he can to defend him in the matter you are writing about.
