Find Care & Housing
This is domestic abuse. You need to get him put some where you are safe. He needs to be in a residential facility that can handle this kind of behavior.

Yes to what Sue said; plus don't do what too many women do and start telling themselves, once help has arrived, that the attack wasn't that bad and everything is okay now.

Everything is not okay; and won't be until your husband receives the care he needs not to be a danger to you, to himself, and to others. When you're talking to officials, stay in the moment when your husband was attacking you - that's the situation that needs addressing.

She1934,
You must NOT have him in your home.
Have your son take him to ER for being physically violent with you and altered mental status. 

Ask for a hospital social worker to get APS (Adult Protective Services) involved.

Let them run tests but demand that he is seen by a geriatric psychiatrist or neurologist. He needs a mental evaluation.
IT WAS WRONG OF THE HOSPITAL TO DISCHARGE HIM HOME TO YOU KNOWING HE HAS PHYSICALLY HURT YOU!

Tell the social worker you are scared for your life and WILL NOT let him back in your home. Have your son state that his father has been abusive with you both. Tell them he needs to be placed and that YOU WILL NOT TAKE HIM HOME NOR ALLOW HIM BACK IN AND WILL GET THE POLICE INVOLVED AGAIN AT THE HOSPITAL.
They will be forced to have him evaluated and placed in a facility.
Tell your son to say that he has small children in his home and he would fear for their safety so he can't take his father to his house either.
You must be firm with the hospital. They will try to get you to let him go home. Tell them you've filed police reports of your abuse and are fearful that he'll kill you. They will HAVE to act.
Please do this today and let us know how it went. I'm so sorry for your situation. I'll pray for all of you.

Have you talked to the ER personnel about his violent behavior? That he's a danger to you?

Have you asked about an involuntary psychiatric hold?
