Ah, @zachallaun I think that will do it. I am able to get the handle_info on the LiveView, so I think I just need to do some restructuring a little bit. Woof. Thank you so much, that was really driving me crazy. Of course I am sure the info was probably right there in front of me at some point - gotta work on that I suppose 
Thanks again, I really appreciate the help from everyone. I am off to read more on LiveComponents
