The statement continued: “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.”

Chris reportedly suffered a collapsed lung, broken bones and broken ribs while in the water in Malibu. Maria was on the beach when the accident occurred.
It’s been a very difficult month for the Shriver/Schwarzenegger brood.
Maria filed for divorce from Arnold three weeks ago after the shocking news that he fathered a child with a household staff member more than 10 years ago.
