Likely head trauma and possibly swelling on the brain. That's total speculation on my part, so take it with a grain of salt. Splinty @Splinty is obviously more qualified to offer an educated opinion.

Head trauma or he's just sedated because they had to intubate him because he was unconscious and they needed to protect his Airway.

If he's taking an extended time to come off the ventilator, given his healthy background, I would imagine it's due to head trauma.

But again, all just guess it's on the very limited information

Good to hear Matt is in better condition then what many fools with no real information were reporting earlier.

We now have two examples with Matt Hughes and Tim Hague where dip shits go online typing nonsense reporting false information to stroke their egos and get some clicks.

Appears everyone is a reporter these days only they don't have facts or real information to back up their tweets, comments, insight....pure speculation and pure boobaclide bullshit.

Matt is a beast. Gonna make a full recovery and be pissed he missed some days of work on the farm. Mark will be glad to cover those duties for him.
