He hasn't been feeling well, but he's just been a trooper.

The reason that he [Shane] is here is that his father's not. How do you balance that? There's no answers. Michael didn't die of a car accident. He didn't have cancer. There's no logical reason that he's not here right now.

One reason I went was to ensure the safety of Shane, and two, was to dispel the lies, and those are the lies. In my opinion, everything she [Judi] says about Michael acting out of character - about him being rude, lazy, drunk - is untrue.
