Perhaps with a wheelchair from check-in to boarding gate and a posse of FAs to get her seated but even then the inflight logistics would be horrific.

I find the scenario as depicted rather improbable and (as others have hinted) a bit self seeking.

If it is essential that she makes this trip you need to face up to flying back with her & the kids to look after them. If you do not choose to do so I think EK would be within it's rights to refuse to let her fly.
