What if your husband gave his son power of attorney what rights do you have as his spouse?

Your husband's general Power of Attorney doesn't affect your rights as his spouse. You can't sign his name without a POA so his appointing his son as his attorney-in-fact doesn't affect your rights. His son can sign for him in his business matters.
If it is a medical POA then he has given his son the right to make medical decisions for him that would over-ride your right to make those decisions. A health care POA only goes into effect when the attending physician has made a determination that the patient lacks legal capacity to make decisions. Prior to that time the patient has the right to make decisions.
If you have further questions then you should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights and options. You should be aware that your husband's granting a powers of attorney to your son gives your son access to all your jointly held property including bank accounts.
