"A few days ago our son Christopher suffered an accident at the beach. While it has been a very scary week, Christopher is surrounded by his family and friends. He is a brave boy and is expected to make a full recovery. On behalf of our entire family, we want to sincerely thank the paramedics and lifeguards who responded so swiftly as well as the doctors, nurses, emergency room and hospital staff who have cared for our son. They have been extraordinary to him and to us. We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and ask for respect and privacy for Christopher and our family."
The youngest child of Maria and Arnold, the same age as his half-brother from an affair Schwarzenegger had with maid Mildred Baena, 13-year-old Christopher, is reportedly recovering in the ICU following a surfing accident last weekend. Injuries from the accident left him with several broken bones and a collapsed lung, according to celebrity news site TMZ
Shriver filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger weeks after learning Schwarzenegger fathered a child with Baena at the same time period she was pregnant with Christopher.
