STORYLINE:
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon underwent an additional brain scan on Saturday morning as doctors prepared to assess how much damage he had suffered, following a severe stroke.
The hospital said the procedure, which checks for intracranial bleeding and pressure, had been planned.
Media from across the world remained camped outside the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem on Saturday, awaiting word.
However, Hadassah hospital director Dr. Shlomo Mor-Yosef would only say that there would be a news briefing on the situation at 1800 local time (1600 GMT).
Worshippers at Hadassah hospital said a prayer for the ailing prime minister during services on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.
One father visiting the hospital with his child said they had come especially with the children "to show our concern and empathy."
A steady stream of well wishers has been arriving at the hospital, including Sharon's advisor Raanan Gissin and most recently government secretary Ilan Cohen who said the situation was "stable."
A close friend of Sharon's, Eli Landau also paid a visit earlier in the day.
Afterwards, he said that he was feeling more "optimistic" about Sharon's condition.
Sharon was rushed to Hadassah hospital on Wednesday night after complaining of weakness.
He suffered a major stroke in the ambulance and underwent emergency surgery on Thursday and Friday to stop bleeding in the brain and relieve swelling inside the skull.
Outside experts have said the prognosis looks grim, given the severity of the prime minister's stroke.
