Laravel gets javascript session on load

Question

Here is my scenario:

-I
am processing an excel file that will take about 10 minutes -In case of processing, I want to send feedback to the user that we are currently processing

My idea was to use a session that will put the value during processing and get that session using javascript in the current view
Here is my script:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var element = document.getElementById("progress");
        setInterval(
            function(){
                element.innerHTML = "{{Session::get('progress')}}";
            },500
        );
    });
</script>

And somewhere in my controller, let me just say like this:

    $i = 0;
    while(!$done){
        processingComplicated();
        Session::put('progress', $i);
        Session::save();
    }

And my main view:

<div id="progress">0</div>

Basically, I want the current page to receive session data and update the view (id = "progress"), but that will not change.
It can be done? Thank.

AJAX

$(document).ready(function() {
    var element = document.getElementById("progress");
    setInterval(
        function(){
            $.get( "processing-status", function( data ) {
                 element.innerHTML = data;
            });
        },500
    );
});

,

Route::get('/processing-status', function()
{
    return Session::get('progress');
});
