Arnold & Maria's Son Hospitalized -- Surfing Accident...

[one_voice]

My apologies if this has been posted...I searched didn't see the story...


Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's 13-year-old son Christopher is hospitalized after a serious surfing accident last weekend ... so serious he has been in ICU for days ...TMZ has learned.

Christopher suffered multiple broken bones and a collapsed lung as a result of the accident in Malibu. We're told Christopher's condition has now been upgraded and he will be OK .

We're told Maria has constantly been at Chris' side. And Arnold has been a regular visitor as well. We're told in spite of the divorce, the entire family has come together as a unit in dealing with Christopher's accident.

Maria has had an incredibly tough year ... and an extremely rough week.

1. That's rough. The story didn't say, did he get into waves he wasn't

prepared to handle? Did he run through a pier? Offshore rocks?

with that kind of damage, it sounds like he's lucky to be alive.

3. Sometimes there is a strong undertow that you don't

expect. I know I hit one a couple of times in my life. One nearly drowned me before I was able to fight my way out. I only body surfed though. If there is a board involved that could have caused a bad accident. Playing in the waves is often dangerous. They are an awesome force of nature.

4. Boys his age are notoriously "immortal" and do all kinds of dangerous stuff

Parents (if they are lucky), eventually find out about all those exploits of daring-do when they are tossed into general conversation once those boys are grown ups..

I hope her boy heals fast & is more cautious from here on in
