Natasha Richardson's family members are 'hopeful' that the actress will recover from the "traumatic brain injury" she suffered during a skiing accident on Monday.
The 45-year-old fell on the slopes while taking a ski lesson at Station Mont Tremblant near Montreal.
She was initially taken to a medical center in the Canadian city and then moved to New York's Lenox Hill Hospital on Tuesday, where she remains in critical condition.
Richardson's actor husband Liam Neeson, their two sons and her famous relatives -- members of the Redgrave/Richardson acting family -- are by her bedside.
Reports that the actress is "brain dead" have been dismissed by sources close to the family, and one relative tells Usmagazine.com, "We're doing our best to stay up-to-date on what's happening, but it's difficult when they know so little themselves. I'm hoping to hear from Liam with good news. I'm really anxious. I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I just hope she is going to be OK, I really do. We're a strong family, and Natasha is part of that family. We're good at putting up a fight."
