I would suggest that you provide the grandparents with a Power of Attorney to act on your behalf in respect to your son. While I would suggest that you have an attorney draft one for you, there appears to be one on this site for purchase. The info is as follows:

Description

Power of Attorney for the Care of Children - Allows both parents of one or more children (called the "Principals" or "Grantors") to appoint another person to act as their Agent (called the "Attorney in-Fact") to care for the children on a temporary basis (i.e. for a limited time). This document allows the Agent to make decisions for the children in place of the parents, including health care, education and welfare decisions.
