Wrong Blood, Narrow Escape for Newborn | Cincinnati News

A newborn girl with rare blood types nearly died after receiving the wrong blood transfusion — but thanks to quick action, she’s now recovering. Her parents, Allysa and Damian Gilbert, are speaking out to warn others and prevent future tragedies, even as hospital privacy rules limit what they can share. The error, involving Kell and Kidd positive blood instead of the required negative type, was caught within an hour — but not before it was administered. The family was also unaware their daughter was transferred to Cincinnati Children’s. While the hospital says it’s committed to transparency and compassion, the Gilberts hope their story sparks change before another family suffers the same fate.
