Baby Kaylee Vitelli's parents are "outraged" at what they say was a miscommunication with doctors about which hospital could treat their sick daughter, according to a family spokesperson.

Kaylee was being treated at Southlake Hospital in Newmarket, Ont. for a fever and infection, said J.P. Pampena.

The three-month-old infant was admitted to hospital on May 20 but her parents wanted their child transferred to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto when her condition worsened on Sunday.

Kaylee's father Jason Wallace said he was told that Sick Kids had no beds available and that the infant was to remain at Southlake for treatment.

However, Sick Kids sent out a news release Tuesday afternoon saying that, "a formal request was never made to transfer Kaylee to SickKids and the availability of a bed for Kaylee was not and is not an issue."

A hospital spokesperson said physicians have been working closely with Kaylee's doctors at Southlake for several days.

"We have provided them with advice on how to best address Kaylee's current medical needs," Matet Nebres said in the news release.

"We have full confidence in the medical team at Southlake and we will continue to support them regarding Kaylee's care plan. If her medical team determines that a transfer is necessary, we will be ready to provide her with the level of care she needs."

Pampena said Kaylee's family did not know Sick Kids' position until watching the 6 p.m. news when their statement was made public.

"The family is totally irate and very disappointed with the conflicting reports they are dealing with," he said in a news release.

After watching the newscast, Wallace decided to drive Kaylee to Sick Kids himself, Pampena said.

Kaylee first made national headlines in April when her ailments triggered a debate about the ethics of organ donations.

The infant has a rare brain condition known as Joubert Syndrome. It causes a condition known as sleep apnea where she stops breathing when she sleeps.

Her parents made public their desire that Kaylee's heart be transplanted into another ill baby at the Hospital for Sick Children.

Doctors believed Kaylee would die without life support and agreed to transplant her heart into the other baby when she died. But Kaylee continued to breathe on her own after she was taken off life support. Doctors deemed her to no longer be a transplant candidate.

The child was allowed to go home earlier this month after Wallace complained about the care she was receiving at Sick Kids.

The hospital has always stood by its staff and has insisted Kaylee has received the best of care under their watch.
