Sorry this has been stressful for you. I can't offer a lot of advice which has not already been said.
In my case I had the NT scan which showed to be ok but when I had the bloods done I had soft markers for downs and was given a 1:113. Due to the risk of m/c we decided against CVS/Amino but to wait till my 18wk scan as to see whether there were any physical defects that would indicate downs (eg no nasal nose, extra digit, heart problems etc). Fortunately everything was fine and I have a perfectly healthy 2yo. I have been told by a few obs that there is a high chance of "false positive" readings when it comes to the blood work. I would say have the NT and if the measurement is in the normal bracket and if bubs is looking fine than just relax.
Take care
Oh just wanted to add - when I fell pregnant the third time we decided not to even had the blood work done (which you have done with the NT scan) as I didn't want to go through the stress like last time. My Ob just did a normal scan for me in his room, measured the thickness (which was normal) and I left it at that.
