Just a couple of comments on things that caught my eye:

On most widebodies, the flight attendant can block off the entire row of lavatories, and then you would be able to assist your daughter without everyone gawking.

I'm not sure why her weight is a factor - I know 250 pound male quads who fly. Nobody lifts them for screening and TSA somehow manages to clear them. Sometimes when TSA says, "Can you do X?" you just gotta answer "No" and let them deal with it.
