It'd probably be best to call a tanner and ask, but now it's too 
late, obviously...

Google sorta to the rescue:
http://www.google.com/search?q=blood+leather+remove

In one of those hits, bleach is mentioned with "if you want to risk 
permanent damage..." in the same sentence.  Lemon might be a fair 
bet.  Lexol might work but could end up just spreading it around, 
which would be very bad if the leather is dry (hasn't been 
conditioned recently).

Hope this helps (and everyone is ok!)
