If you or your spouse is filing for Medicaid, then yes, the stock will count as money.
The stock might need to be sold and "spent down". You cannot give it to your son, the money has to be used for you or your husband's care. Now, when it comes to Medicaid, the spouse is allowed to keep a certain amount if the spouse isn't applying for Medicaid, you would need to check with your State rulings.
