Like you I too have recently found out my son the deletion only he is two, we did however find out that he has Spina Bifida during my pregnancy. We were asked several times if we wanted to abort and I do not regret for one minute choosing to have my son. It is a very personal decision and you should go with your heart. It was very hard and we cried alot when we found out our baby wasn't "perfect", but reading inspirational stories helped, a book Called "You will dream new dreams" was very helpful. Good Luck!
