MOLLY Meldrum continues to make steps in his long road to recovery, this week recognising brother Brian.
The TV star is now permanently off a ventilator, breathing on his own despite broken ribs and fractured vertebrae, the Herald Sun reported.
And there are hopes battler Molly could come out of intensive care by the middle of next week.
But brother Brian stressed that the major milestones were yet to come.
He said, despite being taken off the hospital's critical list, it was unlikely Molly would be moved from ICU to a neurology ward until "at least the middle of next week".
"It's just impossible to say exactly when it will happen," he said.
"He's taking small steps forward - there certainly haven't been any steps backward so far - but there's just no point speculating when the doctors will move him out of ICU."
Molly had also shown signs of recognising his brother, although, like many with head injuries, was also prone to bouts of short-term memory loss.
"There are times when he appears to recognise me and others when he doesn't," he said.
"This is all normal for people with head injuries."
