She already feels like she "owes" us because I had to walk away from my career path for her (disability-related, though, not GT related)-- no need to add to that.
HK,
I hope that you have made it clear to her that you needed to walk away from your career path because of you, not because of her. If she were my daughter, I'd want her to know that many parents are capable of having a career even with a seriously disabled child. However, under the circumstances, you felt like you couldn't do it. It has more to do with you than with her needs, so she shouldn't feel guilty at all. Does that make sense?
