Christopher Schwarzenegger, the 13-year-old son of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, was hospitalized after a surfing accident in Malibu, California, over the weekend, a source close to the family said.
Schwarzenegger slammed face-on into an object on a beach and was seriously injured, said the source, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
He was initially treated in an intensive care unit but was later moved to another unit in the unidentified hospital, the source said.
While Christopher's condition was at first thought to be life-threatening, he is expected to fully recover, the source said.
Patrick, his 17-year-old brother, posted a Twitter message Friday morning indicating that Christopher is doing well in the hospital.
"Thank you everyone for your messages about my brother. This kid is strongest kid I ever seen. Keep praying," he said.
Christopher is the youngest child of the former couple.
Shriver filed for divorce from Schwarzenegger on July 1 after the revelation that he fathered a child with their housekeeper. The child was born less than a week after Christopher, according to birth records.
